...do you fit your simex ET/insa special track/etc?
logically, they could go either way and it would make sense, so which way did you choose? looking from the rear:
this way? -
/88\
/88\
/88\
or this way? -
\88/
\88/
\88/
and why? discuss :P
-
the way it says on the side,
there should be an arrow as they are directional

Thinking about it, they want to be self-cleaning, so the tread starts laying at the middle and runs outwards, so the muck is forced the same way. This means they point forewards at the top.
Funny thing though, on the mountain bike it depends on which end, on theh front we had them pointing forewards so that the outside edge bites inwards to keep grip whilst cornering but the back faces the opposite way, so that it grips when you are pedelling in a bend but slips out if you hit the brakes hard.
Not recomended in a 4x4 :wink:

Used to run the front tyres on the race car 'backwards'. It improved braking grip while the rears were the correct way round for maximum grip under acceleration. Wouldn't work on a front wheel drive or 4x4 though :lol:

I used to run the front tyres backwards on my BMW 325i on track days. Funny thing was, I was the first person to do it once at castle coombe, I did a couple of laps and came back in and there 10 other people with the front of thier cars up swapping the wheels from side to side!
