'05 1600 Nomad CT Question - Page 2

I read on another site that if you have a CT put on your rear wheel it should be mounted backwards, meaning the tread faces the other direction. Is that what you guys did or did you go with an asymmetric tread?

..I think most car tires are uni-directional these days.. ?..I remember years ago that a radial was suppose to be mounted and run only one direction..and could only be 'rotated" front to rear, and run on the originally mounted side only !

That is not true.

If you run a Uni-directional (1 direction tread) it is supposed to be mounted as they term "push water", and that is the direction of the arrow on the sidewall, applies to MC & CTs.
