It will fit, but the valve stem will be on the wrong side. Should always be on the right side, on both wheels.

When the 09s first come out and they had the front tire cupping problem,the new replacement tire had the tread going in the opposite direction.I'm sure there was other changes made to the tire,but the tread direction was the most obvious.
