Hi,
I've posted this question elsewhere on the forum but think it is better suited to this part. Apologies if you've already read it.
I've just replaced my "Maxxis Hi Rollers" for some "Halo Twin rails" just for the purpose of commuting to work on my "Kona Hoss" as most of the journey is on hardpack or concrete, with a new set of wheels to come to mount the "Maxxis" at the weekend.
My problem is: what way do I mount them? The description on the Web says that they are directional but which way?
If anyone would care to look at a piccy of them on the web or already know which way could you please help me? I'm asuming that the tread pattern should point in the direction of travel to facilitate faster rolling.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Tony.

Probably doesn't matter much if only for commuting however look for some arrows or pointer on the side walls, front tyre will go one way and rear the other. They would tend to go opposite direction (FR & R) more traction on rear & more traction for braking on front.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
I've got them running in the opposite direction as per the reccomendations on the Michelin ATB tyre mounting instructions on their website.
So it looks like i've got it right and so did you.
Many thanks Aussie rider.
