directional tires

[djcash2000]

I just purchased a Michilin S12 tire and then proceeded to mount it backwards. For the life of me, I cannot see a directional pattern on this tire. I am trying to see whether I have to remount it.

mine was on the wrong way for an entire season, turned it around after the dunes. dont bother changing it unless you cant sleep at night :)

I regularly flip my s12 to get a fresh edge when it rounds off. I never have noticed any difference in performance or wear. Relax!

Have you used it on a hardpack track?
It seems like the S-12 drifts in the turns on a hardpack track.

Can't beat it in the mud though, same goes for the front tire too!

i live in michigan, and have never seen this mysterious hardpack :think:

it works well for me in the loam and sandy conditions around here

i cant seem to make it further north than cadillac, or st helen, or my favorite rose city/ogemaw

come to think of it i may as well leave the paddle on most of the time :pissed:

this link is my usual spot
