Is this on correctly?

I swear the tread looks backwards but the arrow is pointing the same direction as when I roll it forwards

Yep. As long as the arrow is going forward you should be good. When I put Pilot Powers on mine I had the same thought. I think it has to do with making a smaller rooster tail when wet, spraying less water up and into the engine area.:thumbup:

It's good as i have them also. Does look weird though. :spank:

 

[rivettm]

yeah same way mine are mounted

To me, it looks backwards. Arrow would be going backwards, no? Nevertheless, there should be an indication on the sidewall. This is what you should go by.

 

[Gelvatron]

It rolling the same way as arrow but the tread is backward i swear

 

[dpaul007]

Yep, it's mounted right. See it all the time in the farming industry too for non-driving wheels. Something to do with better traction, I think...my memory is fading.

It's all good.

The tread pattern on tires depends on what the tire spends most of the time with. Rear accelerates, and front brakes. So, they apply forces on the ground in 100% opposite directions, hence the opposite tread design.
