Janson Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I put my tyres so that the label is readable from the driveside, the way it's meant to go. I'm not too sure tyres perform any different when ran the other way around.. Can't say I've noticed any difference myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm_ben Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I would put it on the way it says to since the nice people at maxxis have spent years researching what way round to put their tread patturns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessell Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 As said above i shouldn think this should make too much diference for trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I put mine on the way it said to on the tyre. Never had an issue with grip, well I never had an issue with grip when I had a hot s on the rear (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Never had an issue with grip, well I never had an issue with grip when I had a hot s on the rear :blink: ← Near did I... never bothered me at all with my Hot S's but since I've ridden rocks I now know they grip for sh*t, so I ordered a pair of Maxxis Highrollers 40a which will arrive at my house tomorrow, hehehe :) ;) I also got told that having the Maxxis logo on the non-driveside is best :- Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 maxxis logo on the non drive side is the best way for trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 In theory the tyre should work better for trials if run the wrong way round, I think I could feel a difference when I changed it, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOLO Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 the tyre the correct way round provides more surface area on rock,, but less of a hook on edges,, but run the wrong way round, the hook effect could be good for muddy conditiond and sharper edged, rock,,,, but iv gotta say im with bucky here,,i dont tend to notice and a tyre is a tyre,, just put it on and use it ! do ''eeny-meeny-miny-mo'' on it or something! for the direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
