Tyre tred

Before I cop any abuse.. yes im a DFU that cant use goggle.

The front on my Michelin power pilots tread channels the water to the centre
of the tyre... sounds wrong to me?? but its on the right way round...
thoughts????????

Imagine you are at, say, 30-degree angle of lean, cornering. Does it
make better sense now?

 

nup.. it still looks like its channeling the water to the cenre of the tyre.

It's not a car, it's a bike. The centre of the tyre pushes water to the
side, the edge of the tyre pushes water back to the centre, which is
exactly where you want the water to go. As long as the arrows are
pointing the right way there is nothing to worry about.

Yeah kinda. On a lean angle it would channel the water across the tyre, as
the centre would not be in contact with the road.
Its just the rear is as you would expect, channelling the water to the
outside of the tyre

Is that the reason that the majority of rockets don't require tyres?

It's not rocket science. The tyre only has a small contact patch and

That was what I was figuring. just looked wrong when I looked at the tyre..
my first though was it was on the wrong way around.
