I find it climbs better and think it should have been labeled that way to begin with!<br /><br />Most of the time, I think manufacturers get tread direction right, but agree that in some conditions it may work better running in the opposite direction. I have a feeling that most of the Divas aren't going to experiment w/tread direction in their spare time!bikegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774265628828868112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056525970132731687.post-37181894577202216462011-04-14T11:04:51.937-08:002011-04-14T11:04:51.937-08:00In regard to number 1: - I often (depending on whi...In regard to number 1: - I often (depending on which tire I'm using, of course) run my tires backwards on purpose. I did this as I found that given the terrain I was riding in South Dakota (recent transplant to AK) that running them reverse provided better grip and control. I would add the caveat to number 1, that the rider should experiment to find out what works best for him or her. <br /><br />Thank you.Phil Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620728104468831565noreply@blogger.com
