2 Different Tires : Front and Back Placement ?
Hey guys, putting together a bike here and I have two different tires...I was curious what you all thought as to which should go on the front, and which should go on the rear ? or, maybe you don't think there is no difference ? Thanks, RB

Second question. I put this tire on the back... Is it facing the right direction? There are no arrows on the tire that say which way it should go

The "arrow" tread tire goes on the front with the arrow pointed forward looking from the top.
Unless you ride fast on pavement then you've really got the wrong tire.

You don't say how wide the tires are? I alway run the narrower tire on the front if using different branded tires. So on the rear i have a Conti Mud King 1.8 rear and a GEAX Gato Mud 1.7. In the dry i run Conti Race King 2.0 F & R. I agree with others the 'arrow' tread should be on the front.
