If you are using a tire that has a directional arrow for rear rotation only and for some reason you want to put it on the front, make sure it is rotating in the opposite direction so you don’t aggravate the tread splice. Avon Tyres.
Good Fortune!

many tires have an arrow for front mounting and an arrow for rear mounting...go look........:laugh:
oh and i highly doubt you could just flip the rim in the forks...:huh: but that is just my guess.. ...most kz hub have an axle driven speedo and that would put the drive out front and on the wrong side...50% sure on that one......

those are pretty concerning statements that you should just reverse the direction of rotation on a tire because you moved the end of the bike that its on. let's say for instance that it is a v-shaped tread like this, <<<<<<<, when on the rear of the bike those vee's channel water away from the center of the tire. but when you turn it around as you guys are saying to do it looks like this, >>>>>>>>, which means it's pushing water into the center of the tire meaning if you ever get stuck in the rain you had better be wearing your skid proof ass for when you hit the pavement. tires rotate the same direction whether on the front or back of a motorcycle so if you could elaborate on why he should switch the rotation I would love to hear it

because that is how some tires are...is that enough of an answer for you
Well, since you said to do it I might as well take it as gospel. Patton is the only one that offered up the reason for it on some tires. Which is what I asked you to do bright eyes, not just give me the old "'cuz I said so." :kiss:
