A tire will throw water either way as long as there are sipes.
Still, a lot of people doing this like to run in the direction indicated. I think it has something to do with their comfort zone. They're already breaking the laws of nature just by running a rear in front, then god help them if they ran it backwards.  |
So why most tires have almost the same treads design for the front and the rear?
By far the main function of the tire tread is to evacuate water.
