I was wondering if anyone else noticed that in the DS upgrades pages in the newest Dirt Wheels, that the Baja DS pictured has Bandit front & rear tires. You'll also notice that they are running different directions on the right & left side of the quad. Was this done to accomplish something? For anyone else who has the Bandits, what direction did you put your tread pattern going?

Im not for sure. But that DS is setup for a racing baja's. Those long endurance races. And I think the tires are all put on the rims one certain way so if they need to change a tire they dont worry about the tread pattern being the same. They can just through a tire on real quick. Because if you swapped the rear tires( moving the left one to the right and vice versa. The treads would still be going in the same directions that they are now. Now Im not sure if that is the reason. Maby some one else can tell ya . But I thought I remembered hearing something like that somewhere else.

 

What month of Dirtwheels are you talking about? I just got one and it didn't have anything in it about the DS. Dont have it with me but I think it was junes.

 

It is the June issue. its on page 142.

 

I have mine mounted with the chevrons pointing towards the front.

 

That DS is the one that won the 2000 Baja 2000. Cant believe you didnt know that. Thats what gave them the insparation for the DS Baja.

 

Who didn't know that??????
