RedM Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I can't believe I'm asking this but here goes. Eagle F1 tyre. Look at it as if it was on a car. At the top of the tyre, does the chevron pattern tread point forward or backward? I'm assuming forward but it seems counter to how you'd expect the tyres to bite. So, forwards or backwards?

Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Points forward, you will also see rotation arrows on the sidewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom of the 'V' should come into contact with the road first ... so at the top of the tyre it would be upside down and pointing backwards I think.

carl0s Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Is the rotation mark the little thing next to the Goodyear logo? Doesn't it say 'Rotation > > >' or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Pete, Try Toyo Proxe T1R's. Similar tread pattern - cracking grip - half the price! Sorry for the hijack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try the F1s anyway on the standard 17's I'm sorting.
