Re[2]: Tire Rotation



     -the direction of the overlap is chosen so that on the rear tyre it is 
     held closed by the rotation under acceleration, on the front during 
     braking. Reversing the tyres can cause this joint to open up , at the 
     best ruining the tyre, at the worse causing you to crash. Tim.
     
     So, if you swap the front and rear tires AND turn them around on the 
     rims there shouldn't be an issue. It'd definitely make the bike easier 
     to back out of parking spaces. :)
