edholland Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I read on this forum that people turn their tires. This maybe a stupid question to ask but how and why please ? Tia, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme17 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 When a tyre wears the square edge on the knobble becomes rounded and this compromises grip in muddy conditions. When the tyre is turned the square edge is restored, however a lack of grip will be apparent on descents after the tyre is turned for obvious reasons. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
