I purchased a new D404 to mount on the front and I noticed the arrow on the side showing the direction of rotation is backwards from the direction of the tread.
I don't think they are all that way because I've used D404's before and not run into this problem but there are several different tread patterns and a Harley version of the tire. The one I have is the one with smaller blocks like the one on the right on ebay. What do you guys think about this? Could that be for better braking? Won't the tread being backwards cause instability or problems with water in the rain? Should I just ignore the arrow and mount the tire with the tread pointed in the forwards direction?
