TW301 and 302 direction of rotation
 

I was going to mount these tires today and there is no arrow for the direction of rotation, although by looking at the tread there should be. Does anybody that runs these know the correct way to mount them as far as rotation goes?
Thanks,
Dave

Got any pics of the the tires? I've never seen them.

I just did some pattern matching and it won't matter which way they go. Here is a link to a pic but I don't know if it will help.

Those looks like a good 50/50 tire. Sorta a cross between the stock and a the 606. Let us know how they run.

Keep us posted with the performance of these tires on and off road. I am considering a set of these next year. They look like the stock tire on the new wr dual sport.

From my research they look like they will last a good while and be safer on the road and wet roads etc. We avoid mud and haven't seen too much of it here anyway. That is the only place these tires would not be so good. Here is a pic of them next to some Kenda 270's and some D606's. I will let you know how they do as we will break them in today.

I like the look of those Trail Wings but, the local folks all point me towards the Dunlop 606's. After looking at the
Trail Wings, I thought I might as well see what sort of options I have in a better street tire and found these Pirelli
Scoprions.

Other then keeping the look of the Enduro knobbies, I'm wondering if the Pirelli's might be a better option for the
street while keeping essentially the same performance on hard packed non-ashpalt roads and trails. Anyone
ride these Pirelli's that can comment?

I think those or something similar is what comes on the big BMW Adventure bikes. For a hardpacked surface they should be ok, but I wouldn't push them too hard at first.

So far very happy with the TW302 rear tire have not used the 301 front myself. I have about 2500 miles on this tire and it is abouthalf gone. I heard 5000 to 5500 is obtainable withthe 302 we will see.
