What direction should your tires roll?

[@matthewbarwood863]

The shorts are wonderful for quick delivery, slightly longer is great for a little more detail and slower talking, both are great!

[@soisaus564]

but this video is still 48 seconds he basically lost 2 million views to5k

[@RunstarHomer]

This could still be a short, it's less than a minute.

[@eeeeeek]

id still watch this one

[@MahdioofDrift]

And this is wrong on motorcycle

[@rj5529]

sometimes you might see offroad vehicles with the V's on the tyres in reverse, this is because they actually want to pull mud underneath the tyres to "float" on top of it instead of separating it and sinking down :3

[@joaoosvaldo3759]

Yes, and also in tractors and combines the traction tires are in the right way because they have to touch the solid ground under the mud

[@actomobile]

I thought that was the correct direction, because the thread would "grip"more ground, providing more traction

[@FBG1]

I do like this style! Very informative and a great addition to the short!

[@KnowArt]

Awesome! I'll definitely make some more of these. Often creators make shorts out of long videos. I like the idea of doing the opposite

[@FonikosGazmas]

​@@KnowArtI have shorts disabled in my YT app so this video is really consice and informative plus the original form factor allows you to show more stuff. Nice animations too.

[@I.no.ah.guy57]

Thank you! Im a mechanic, and more people need to know this! Also, most tires have "Inside" and "Outside" written on the sidewalls or have an arrow or other indicator to tell you which side is outside or the direction the tire is supposed to roll. But if not, the most common way to tell is if you find the serial number/code of the tire on the bead (the inner rings that mates/seals with the rim on either side). It will be a set of 8 numbers and letters embossed on both sides, but the side thats supposed to face outwards will have 4 additional numbers at the end. This is the manufacturing date of the tire; the first two are the month, and the last two are the year. So look at your tires the next time you get a chance, and if you dont see those four digits at the end of the code, AND theres no other indicators of direction or orientation, then its highly likely your tire was installed backwards. With the tires in the video, that have V shaped treads, they cannot be rotated across the car, only front to back, as this will mean the tire will be facing the wrong direction. To properly rotate directional tires, in the correct pattern for your car (depends on FWD, RWD, AWD/4WD), the tires will have to be dismounted from the rims, flipped over, and remounted, and put in its new spot on the other side of the car Just thought id drop a little more knowledge to go with the vid lol

[@bullfrogboss8008]

I install the front tire on my bicycle in a way that it has more traction while braking, because it's especially important for the front tire to have traction. The rear tire I install backwards in order to get nice traction while pedaling, especially on technical climbs. Ans losing traction on the rear tire while braking is lesser of a deal

[@SkylerGhostly]

I honestly could listen to you describe tires for another 15 minutes and still be interested.

[@Sphaerocarpaceae]

I like this video! I’ve been doing extensive work on my car and mixed up the tires in the process. The explanation you gave will help me remember the correct way to put them on.

[@d0n_key]

On motorcycles, the front tire is usually the other way around - probably to focus on stability when braking.

[@jfu5222]

That's exactly why.

[@deltoid77-nick]

In the United States the term hydroplaning is more common

[@WilliamDye-willdye]

I just subscribed, specifically because you kept it short and to the point.

[@grandzpark]

Thank you for the clarification.

[@iffracem]

Which is why tyres have a direction of rotation arrow molded into the sidewall. But even that doesn't get noticed by some of the cheaper tyre fitting places.

[@mennjon]

Absolutely underrated top tier content

[@KnowArt]

long video incoming. hopefully within a month

[@DrR1pper]

However, the "wrong" direction is better when the tyre is under rotating (i.e. braking), which is why the front tyre on mopeds and motorbikes is in the "wrong" direction as that is the tyre that does most of the braking.

[@Dude8718]

Just make everything bro. I am hungry for your knowledge

Same case with terra tires, like on tractors. The V shape pushes out mud if you get stuck, so it digs down to some dryer soil.

I always wondered why they’re that way round. I thought that if you’re skidding then water would gather in the middle of the wheel but I guess it’s better not to skid in the first place and also the difference when skidding is probably negligible.

the exception to this is motorcycle tires, where the front treads should actually point backwards, to aid in braking

Nice explanation! Another question is if the road is absolutely dry and warm, does it matter whether your tyres are mounted in the correct direction? I'm talking about the high performance summer tyre that has 200 TW driving on the circuit.

[@KnowArt]

hmm interesting. It might matter a tiny bit for wear, but I don't think the grip would be much different? Just guessing

Usually summer tires aren't directional.

0:14 on motorcycles it's actually reversed for the front tyre, because breaking is more important, and since it's narrow it's not prone to hydroplaning anyway
