I just put my new Avon Storms on the bike today but as I am finishing up the front tire, the direction appears wrong. As I look at the water grooves with the noted tire rotation direction, they lead to the center of the tire and should force the water to the center of the tire into a narrowing gap thus producing the fun effect of hydroplaning.
Although I've changed hundreds of tires in my day, from bicycle to semis, I'm no tire guru, especially on these newer tread designs. This is the first set of new motorcycle tires I've had to do in many years and in my thinking, things don't look right. We want to get rid of water towards the outside ASAP.
I need some help here from more knowledgeable members in this matter. Please let me know if I am wrong in thinking the direction appears backwards or if I just don't know enough about my tires.
Thanks.
