Oh No--Tire on Backwards
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 10:46 pm
I took my wife out to show off my newly revived '86 Spree--wheels & muffler painted, plastic polished (and on the scooter), seat on, runs great, and new tires. And then I saw it, I had mounted the tire backwards on the front wheel. It never occurred to me to check tire tread pattern and mount correctly. I lucked out on the rear tire, it was correct.
I've read a lot of posts on tire sizing, how to get tires off and on, removing wheels, etc.--but nothing (that I remember) on turning the tire tread the right direction--I'll be more careful next time!
