Probably has been answered already but I can't find it...

When mounting a C/T on the rear, which direction should it go? (do these tires have a directional arrow?)



(yes, I know... if I'm moving forward, it's direction is forward..... lalalalala)

Some do, and some don't! How's that for an answer!:thumbup:

if the tire has a directional arrow, point it forward just like you would do on a car.

I think this might cover all tires as to the direction.

Mount as if it will go on the left rear of a cage.

I must be out of touch as I didn't realize that car tires had a directional arrow ... then again, it's been 30 yrs since I last busted tires but even then, we had radials and we didn't have directional arrows.

Tire technology has come a long way in 30 years. That really adds to benefits of running them on a bike such as a Goldwing.

Some interesting info on this...

I Googled it (what would we do without Google? lol)

directional

My Kuhmo is directional, just one look at the tread and it's evident. There is an arrow also for mounting.

My Pirelli was non-directional and my Kumho is directional.

Yeah, my Sunny has a directional arrow on it as well. Just went and looked to make sure.
