Well, just had this fitted to front wheel, £70 new not bad me thinks, bridgestone 160/70/17, rear tyre fitted wrong way round, looks real good on the wheel.

Pardon my question but why would you fit the tyre backwards?

Hi, here's an alternative postion for your ignition switch. But only if you have the triple K&N's fitted i would think. new screen fitted aswel today.

Pardon my question but why would you fit the tyre backwards?

Tyres are designed and mad for forces in a particular direction. The rear tyre has to contend mostly with acceleration, the front has to deal almost entirely with braking. Therefore if you put a "rear" tyre on the front you need to have turn it around and have the arrows pointing the wrong direction.
