Tire on KH29

If I'm not mistaken, the 'direction' of tires has to do with what way
water gets flicked off it. And with the speeds unicycles are generally
puttering around at, it's not a big deal which direction you mount your
tire. Someone who knows more than me can probably explain in greater
detail though.

useually one way will roll better and the other will have better grip.

most out of your tire

It depends on which side you are looking at the tire from. 🙂

I just got a KH29" and the direction arrow on the Kenda is going counter
clockwise. Is this correct? Thanks.

The arrow points in the direction of rotation. But for most tires it
doesn't matter too much, and some people have reported, with some
tires, that mounting the tire "backwards" on their unicycle made it
ride better.

Mounting the tire backwards on my muni made it easier to control, and
it seems as though theres less rolling resistance.

Ride it both ways , simply turn the seat around on the same piece of
road and decide for yourself. If it rides better in reverse flip the
tire on the rim. Don't ride backwards to much as the pedal will come
loose.
