tyre rotation

geepeetee said:

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.

I have the 700x28 Transworlds - I think they had a direction indicator
but I guess it's worn off. Anyway, I've got the arrow pattern pointing
forwards.

If the tyre has a label on only one side fit the tyre so that the label
is on the right hand side

Generally with any (motor)bike you should see V shapes from the front
of the bike.

That means water will get pushed outwards.

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.
