A method of mounting a tire on a vehicle includes providing a tire having a first side, a second side, and a circumferential tread disposed about the tire. The first side defines a first forward rotation direction and the second side defines a second forward rotation direction. The circumferential tread includes a plurality of tread elements, and at least one of the plurality of tread elements includes a sipe arrangement including a plurality of sipes that are angled in a depth direction of the tire. The plurality of sipes are disposed on a first half of the tread element and no sipes are disposed on a second half of the tread element. The sipe arrangement causes the tire to exhibit a first tire performance when the tire is mounted on the vehicle in the first orientation and rotated in the first forward rotation direction, and further causes the tire to exhibit a second tire performance when the tire is mounted on the vehicle in the second orientation and rotated in the second forward rotation direction. The method includes mounting the tire on the vehicle in the first orientation for driving the vehicle in a first set of conditions, and mounting the tire on the vehicle in the second orientation for driving the vehicle in a second set of conditions.
