silly /simple question for you........
my rear tyre is a little worn but still ok i guess, but i was wondering, is it ok to take it off and turn it round the other way to make the most of the sharper edge to the tyre blocks ?

I do that to every rear tire I have on my Sherco. I get 2 seasons out of a tire that way. (yep i am a cheap Ba****d)

If you can run it for several miles on the road it will pull up a new edge and you can then turn it again ..plus the sidewalls get nice and soft.
