It's all about consensus. More people spell it "tire" than "tyre" so *tire* is technically correct. Do the math.
ok... back on topic (ish). I went to go for a ride out with my mate last week. he has bought an 02 blade. the front tyre was on the wrong way round according to the arrow. he was worried about this but my opinion was it wouldn't make any difference on a dry rd.. is this correct? or could it be dangerous due to the way in which it is constructed? he has since had it refitted by the rouges that are daytonas motorcycles in ruislip.. £30 quoted and after waiting for an hour and a half (despite having it booked in for a specific time and being told it was a half hour job) they tried to charge him £45!!!! #fuckdatonas
30 notes to remove an replace a tyre?? - would've been cheaper saying it was a puncture at quick fit!!!!! I would agree that in the dry there would be no issue but wet would be the time to worry
Actually, the front and rear tires are made differently, and it does make a difference. The way the carcass overlaps for the rear is done in a way that the most significant forces there (acceleration) "push" them together. The front is designed where the most significant force, braking, does the same. So on top of tread design, there is more to it that makes them being mounted in the proper direction important
