New tire rotation direction mounted...

no good reason to ever trust that shop again no excuses, its your ass at risk, bud--delamination aint no joke

 

You guys need to go to bed and stop worrying about your tyres. The arrow on the tyre is a directional arrow, showing which way round the tyre wants to be spinning.

 

It's a REAR tire only.

There are some tires that are made for either. And they will have REAR with an arrow and FRONT with an arrow pointing the other direction.

 

Also, when that "Rear & Arrow" are rotated to the bottom, the arrow will point the other way in relation to the bike as a whole. Definitely descriptive of the rotation.

 

Delamination can happen, but it seems highly unlikely. Tire are...tough. I've run street/track tires backward for decades on the track with zero issues, regardless of brand/model...at pace. The only difference I've experienced is in standing water...always forward unless they "go both ways."
