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.

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

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.

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