Howdy, newbie here

Lol, I know it's backwards. y'all don't flip your tires around after a couple rides? Seat cover is off. Black one on now. And swing arm decals covering whole swing arm. Better protection. I'm not a fan of OEM.

yes, but the profil on this m12-tire works only in one direction... :wink:

Well, it works better backwards when the forward edges have been worn down. Flip the tire, now you get sharp edges. It's obviously not better than new, but it's better than a used.

i do this since long times , but with the michelin m12 in backwards direction i had not the right control in small turns.( if you look good you will find out, that the tire has only one direction)... and i´m also not the biggest friend of this tire ...
i learned to love the michelin starcross mh3 on the rear and s12 on the front. with this tire-combo you can ride in all conditions , like sand, mud and hard conditions

Ok, well. It really doesn't make much of difference since I don't race. It's really not as important as you are making it. My bike runs just fine with a backwards tire. Have done it for years and will continue. Thank you for the advice.
