Question:

motorcycle tire question.?

I‘m curious to know why when mounting tires on a motorcycle, the front tire is mounted opposite the rear. LIke tires that have directional tread, on the front, it spins the opposite way.

Answer:

the back tyre is primarily used for acceleration the front for braking so the direction of rotation for maximum grip is reversed
Both front and rear spin the same direction, (99.99% of the time that is forward)
