Bike Tires Backwards at Angus Daplyn blog

They guide the right rotation. I've found that with some directional mountain bike tires, fitting the rear tire backwards means that your back wheel slides out from under you when you. Check for arrows on the tire’s side. The front tires are designed for braking and steering while the rear tires are optimized to deliver power and speed. So i wouldn't recommend riding with your tire backwards for long. And if there are no arrows? Choosing the right tire type: Tread patterns differ, helping with control on mountain bikes. If the tires are attached backward, the tread will not work correctly. The only way i understand it is that because it was backwards it caused some sort of friction that made it stick to the the rim over time. And remember, putting tires backward is not smart; Tires with directional arrows usually have a tread that's asymmetric in terms of rotation of the tire about the hub (i.e. The tread appears to point forward or backward along the direction of. In short, the direction of bike tires matters a lot.
