tyre rotation
Hi
I have just bought a couple of 700 x 35 Michelin Transworld tyres. They dont seem to have a rotation marked on them but i am sure there is a better (if not right/wrong) way to fit them. They have an arrow type pattern, should it point forwards or backwards. Thanks Gary -- visit our website at www.justjents.co.uk |

Anyway, I've got the arrow pattern pointing forwards. -- jc Remove the -not from email |

Generally with any (motor)bike you should see V shapes from the front
of the bike. That means water will get pushed outwards. Jon |

They have an arrow type pattern, should it point forwards or backwards. Forwards at the front, rearwards at the back (looking from the top of the bike). This assumes you want the front optimised for braking and the rear optimised for driving, and you'll be riding on rough surfaces. |
