Yeah I agree Mike that just doesn't sound right to me either. But, in the grand scheme of things that only becomes a big factor if: 1) you ride in the rain 2) and you have atleast a 1/2 inch of standing water that you ride thru. If that were to transpire it seems to me instead of the water channeling thru the tread to the back and side of the tire it would be pushed towards the front of the tire causing a much worse hydro plane condition. Not saying I'm right just thinking out loud. Hey GER aren't you up ther where "two guy garage" is? Why not call that one in? vr, Lee

I'm in Plantation FL (just west of Fort Lauderdale) don't know no two guy garage.

The tire guy called back. He says you mount the rear tire backward for the front because the front tire takes a lot of the braking and the rear tire is built for traction.

that michelin 'rear' tire is the same one i put on 150s and i always do what you posted, mount it backwards when installing on the front. those are good tires too, i get then on ebay

Mike: I'm so sorry to hear about Richard. My prayers are with your family. I'll be going to SC on Sunday for a week. If you are here before then or after the 12th we can grab lunch. Will you be here? vr, Lee
