Quick one , how much is rolling resistance or effort required effected if the rotation direction of a tyre is fitted the wrong way , asking for a friend honest
It doesn't apply on road tyres, even those with a pretend tread.Isn't the direction also for water shedding and grip, not just roll resistance ?
The bicycle tyre won’t / can’t aquaplane, so water shedding is not a consideration. Some of the newer designs of tyres have patterns on them which are designed to trap air / water against the tyre, as air / air, water / water is less draggy than rubber / air, rubber / water. However the wattage savings achieved, require very precise / lab controlled conditions to actually yield what some manufacturers claim.Isn't the direction also for water shedding and grip, not just roll resistance ?
