A simple question.

I've a set of Tioga XC tyres which have the word tioga written between every tread.

If I'm sitting on the bike and I look down at the front tyre should I be able to read the word tioga or should it be upside down OR does it really matter which way the tyre is?

Ouch!

It does not realy matter but if you are concerned, check the side wall. If there is a specific direction there will be arrows to show you which way.

In the interest of your personal well-being while XC riding, I recommend reading the trail rather than the tread! ;)
