is it me or is this guy's tire mounted on backwards?

from the thread pattern it looks to be backwards...

I can't stress it enough how important this is in wet situations, this style tire mounted backwards would pretty much guarantee hydroplaning on wet surfaces. (with enough water and speed of course)

Check your tires people! :)

It's good. The tread points in towards the bike.!

It's right, I think a lot of front tires have a similar reverse tread pattern. No clue why, though I'm sure there is a reason for it
