Thoughts on Knobby Tyre Rotation Direction

I reversed the rotation of the knobbies on Colt. You need to do this a little after half life of the tyre, otherwise the knobs become wedges towards the end of life. Reversing the rotation evens out the wear letting you use the tyres more effectively for a longer time.

I’ve ridden more than 16,000 kms on this motorcycle, all of it on knobbies.
