but there are pictures of Bob Haro running them the other way round. But I agree you have them the right way like a directional tyre.

GRAB ON KID:
Actually they should be the other way around to scoop the dirt for more traction on the track.BITD this was how we ran them to stop sliding or spinning out.You could tell the difference between more experienced racers to guys who were less experienced by which direction their tires were facing.

griff:
Tractors are the key

GRAB ON KID:
Tractor tires are that way to dig through mud for traction combined w/the weight & slow movement of the tractor.Also there are 4-6 wheels & It also stops the mud from clinging that way.

For race bikes which are light on hard dirt or normal track conditions, the tire needs to be scooping the dirt the other way so it doesn't slide or spin out.We mostly used snake bellies on the rear this way w/fat Aggressors or Comp 2's on the front.Try it on a track & you'll see that this way grips better.  :daumenhoch:
