no... But if I ever need to be towed it will be there honestly I'm so low in the front that I don't think I'd be able to get onto a tow truck from the front.

Those hooks are to get towed, not tow with. And even then, it is more just to pull you out of a ditch or off a curb/bump/or pulled onto a towtruck bed; not to be pulled far.

It goes onto the frame, so you may be able to rig up a bike hitch to it somehow, but no way could you pull a jet ski or something.

Thanks. Handling is crazy no way I should be able to turn like that lol turns are nice smooth tight and crisp. They inspire confidence up to the limit. This is how IMO the car should have felt from the factory. I feel as though the car is on rails. It feels like I drive an sti or BMW M5 but just with wayyyy less power for now the stock sway bars are sad and very small compared to the beefy trd sways. The TRD Bbk is awesome. During the break in I had stuff from my hatch hit me in the head lmfao. I haven't even reached the full potential of the brakes yet and on demand I can kiss the windshield. Great buy... I don't regret them at all.

Thanks and no guys the tires are not directional. That arrow is part of the Goodyear design there is an arrow pointing in the opposite direction on both sides of the tire where the Goodyear name is you just can't make it out in the pic.
