-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. :)
