The optimal direction is with the top of the tyre moving in the direction of travel. If you are doing it right, there should be a reasonable slip angle between the axis of rotation and direction of motion.

For a directional (asymmetric?) tyre, rotate front to back only. Do not change sides or the tread pattern will run backwards.
p.s. haha bob

Asymmetrics have no direction of travel and can be used in any position with any rotational direction. The only requirement with asymmetrics is to respect the inside and outside of the tyre, i.e., the side marked as 'outside' should always be facing out. Here it is: http://www.barrystiretech.com/direct...icaltires.html

I'm thinking of using the 1st or the 3rd one on my asymmetric SP Sports.
The 1st one will probably provide the best wear over time. p.s lol Bob haha
