Continental Top Touring 2000 Tires - Mounting Direction Question

George Karabotsos 29 March 2005 05:03:18
 Hello all,

I bought two Contis Top Touring 2000 tires and I have a question on the
direction I should mount them on the rims. On the left side of the tire
there is the following inscription: REAR WHEEL <-- | --> FRONT WHEEL.

In other words there is an arrow pointing counter-clockwise to the right
of "REAR WHEEL" and another arrow pointing clockwise to the left of the
"FRONT WHEEL".

Now to the question: What does this mean? Does it mean I have to mount
them on the direction of the arrow based upon which wheel I place the
tire? I know it seems obvious, but I just want to make sure. This is
the first time I have seen such a tire inscription.

TIA,

George

They should be mounted so that they rotate in the direction
indicated by the relevant arrow. This may marginally improve
rolling resistance, taking account of the differences between a
driving and a driven wheel

See http://www.schwalbe­.com/index.pl?punkt=­264 under "Direction
arrows" and "Rolling direction".

Just forget the whole thing. This is a gimmick of the tire folks who
introduce this concept at various times. That agricultural tractor
tires have a preferred direction of the chevrons is clear. It only
has an effect if the tractor spins its wheels in soft dirt where
orientation of the V-shaped tread helps clear soil from the tread by
the chevrons digging point first.

Directional tread was touted for motorcycles about 30 years ago, cars
have done it recently with V-shaped "water displacement" grooves, so
bicycles have picked that up, not to be left behind in a good ploy.
It has no beneficial effects on cars according to independent test
done by Auto Motor & Sport magazine, and because I followed that when
motorcycles did it, I am sure it has no effect on bicycles either.

Not in my experience. A framebuilder installed mine backwards, I
decided it was not worth changing, did 5000+ miles before switching
front/replacing rear. No noticable difference, even with heavy loads.
