Even my Grandson knows how to put a tire on right, which makes him smarter than you, which I knew already.

Do you ever get tired of the *** beatings your dumb *** gets on here?






I agree with you, I think this guy is full of ****. Don't think a tire would last very long on backwards, and who the hell would have tires on there bikes that are 20 years old, unless this in a museum.

Ha. You need to get out more, if you think that is a beating.

I've mounted tires with spoons. But this one was done dealer, who you put to much faith in.

Since I didn't mount this, I am not sure what your grandson has to do with this.

And yes I was referring to you.

Maybe have your grandson read the big words to you in this thread

The dealer mounted the tire. I should have double checked. Just doing this thread to maybe help someone.

Despite what people say here, I am sure many people just go by valve stem on wheels that have valve stem to right.

Despite all your cocksureness some people here could have done it, and never known

18k miles. Not sure what is so hard to believe. You look at tire pattern, the center doesn't really seem to directional,to me.

Ya tire was mounted wrong on wheel. Some people don't know the difference between tire and wheel, and some I don't think have ever installed a wheel. The tire has nothing to do with the bike. Duh. On touring bike I don't even know if it matters which way you mount the wheel, either.

Again, I can take some ball busting, laugh at myself. But check dealer mounted correctly.

Maybe the tire pattern is not directional, but the internal tire design IS.
It's all about the forces generated in riding a MC.
Thats why anyone putting a wider rear tire on the front has to reverse the rotation, because of the forces.
And btw...FU too!!(I see what you did there)
Phucking troll
