Ok i got my tires and rims last week and i put them on when my parents where at work. I put them on according to the valve stem and the sticker on the rim. anyway me and my dad where sittin around and he noticed that the arrow that says rotation is pointing the worng way so i took it off went around to the other side and the arrow where pointing the same way. so i have like 2 of the same tires on the back will this matter?? they are razr tires

 

If both arrows were pointing backwards you mounted them wrong!

 

Hes right you have mounted them wrong you have to get the valve stem on the outside and then line up the direction arrow correctly.

 

yes i know but what i am sayin is that rocky mountain put them on wrong becaseu when the valve stem is on the outside 1 arrow is pointing one way (the right way) and the other one is pointing the wrong way.

 

So if Rocky Mountain 'mounted' them wrong, then you have two options:

1. Return them: Rocky Mountain was very good with my tires. I had a set of Bandit fronts, and one of the tires was way out of balance. Like side to side out of balance, not up and down. I sent it back, they sent me a new one. No charge.

Downside, takes at least 2 weeks to return them and get new ones back.

2. Take the tire to a tire shop and have them 'un-mount' it, and 're-mount' it correctly. Probably cost you $30 and 2 hours.

Downside, $30 and 2 hours.

My advice, pay the $30 and get it re-mounted. There must have been some one with a hangover at Rocky that day, but then again, pretty easy mistake to make.

Just make sure you watch them un-mount and re-mount. You should be looking for a tire machine which does not 'touch' the lip of the rim. (touchless). This way your rims won't get marked.

good advice...i'd pay the $30 myself. Rocky mountain, for the most part...does a good job.

 

any gas station with a tire mounting machine can flip it for you for free if you are a smooth talker.

 

be careful though, those machines that are designed for automotive tires CAN bend your rims, if they are Al. I could never figure out why my back tire was wobblig on my old 250x, I had just put on new tires and the guy at the gas station back home mounted them. Well, he somehow bent one, then bent a second one when I had him put the tire on ANOTHER rim (I had 2 extra sets of rims), it took 3 bent rims to figure out what was going on.

Make sure whomever you take it to knows how to change ATV tires.

 

Take the tire/rim to an ATV shop and have them flip the tire. Ask Rocky Mountain to reimburse you for the expense.

 

My Razors are the same way. I don't understand why they're a directional tire though....the tread is the same either way?????
