25 Oct 2022 04:52If the tyre is rotational it has been designed to work that way (lay up in the carcase etc) also the tread pattern has been designed to "clear" water. Reversing it is bad as it can cause "stability" and "wet grip" issuesÂundefined i got my new tires in. what will happen if you put the front tire on opposit of the tire rotation?

Bottom line is - don't ride with tyres put on backwards.
Another reason not to - specifically for front tyres - is that front tyres don't need to grip both directions since they're never driven (rear tyres need to grip on acceleration and braking, front tyures only need to grip braking). Braking performance could be significantly reduced.
