lol
that didn't make sense did it?

ok.... I have some KDWS's and they don't seem to be directional tires... On one side of the tire it says (Mount This Side In).... due to some wear, i mounted that out.. so.. its backwards... is this safe and ok?

thanks

 

The directional tread tires that I have seen, have an arrow pointing the direction of the correct rotation. I would not think that the "mount this side in" would replace that, but I am not certain.

 

i'm no expert but i wouldn't think they would put "mount this side in" just for the heck of it. i'm sure its there for a reason. how much of a difference? i have no idea.

 

It is an asymetrical tire, meaning that the tread pattern is slightly different on one edge from the other. Flipping them around MIGHT cause slight traction issues in wet conditions, but nothing major. Your fine, dont worry about it.
