? About rovers.
 
Are rovers directional?

TNredneck 01-08-2010 10:01 PM

really they are a multi directional tire except for the center lug that looks like an arrow. many people say that the arrow backwards is the way to run them cuz thats how they are on the hb website but if you are like most of us out here you can just run them one direction and when they get wore down run them the other way. i have tried both with no change to traction so really all you need to worry about is that they all face the same way. hope this answers your question.

Thanks for the info
I have the little arrows pointing forward right and they are working very well
that's a good idea on changing direction after they wear down a little.

I run mine with the "arrow" forwards. They don't seem to grip "sliprock" or "sandrock" very well the other way around.

This is with an Axial rig that weighs about 6 pounds.

They most certainly are directional.

depends on your terrain and setup i would guess.

mine work best arrow forward but i have swapped them a few times depending on the course.

I like mine with rear backwards and front foward.. I tried all forward and all backards. All Forward being much better.

this is news. i just mounted mine and started running them. i never looked for any arrows.

k goodrich 01-17-2010 08:28 PM

where are the arrows?

silentcircus 01-17-2010 08:37 PM

Sort of. In the center of the tread there is a mustache looking thing that points in a certain direction.

turmoil 01-17-2010 09:26 PM

thanks

I tried a couple diff ways and like the front forward and back backwards. Like already been said guess it depends on driver and terrain.

Mrblue 01-18-2010 10:43 AM

they work well either direction"thumbsup"

whillinwillys 01-18-2010 03:34 PM

arrow forward but work awesome either way.

Center tread arrow pointing forward is what I prefer"thumbsup"

Ive tried them both ways on the ax-10 and couldn't tell the difference, i suppose it all depends on the terrain.

lil' lucifer 01-20-2010 12:11 AM

I run one facing one way and one facing the other in the front and mirror image on the rear.......


:shock:

jr104 01-20-2010 01:21 AM

Well that about covers it. I'd say it's a any or many direction ,directional tire.:roll:

It's all about how technical and picky a person is, apparently only some people can tell the difference one way versus the other way. ;)
