Quote:
"In the case of right side driving countries like the USA, one does indeed ride farther on the left side of the tire than on the right side of the tire. At a simple single lane intersection that is common in most residential neighborhoods, negotiating a left turn will have you traveling TWICE the distance that you do making a right hand turn. That's at a simple single lane intersection. A double lane will have you making four times the distance. But even when you are confronted with nothing more than a left curving road, the radius of that left turner will be larger than if you were coming the other way on the same road making a right around that same curve." http://www.rattlebars.com/tirewear/index.html

When your tire is that bald, the directional arrows aren't that important. Just flip it on the rim an get your thou. lol (unless it's raining)

I guess it could have blistered like my dunlops on the R-1 used to. Talk about premature, I'd get 10 laps in at willow and be missing half the right side
