I just bought a pair of used Kenda Dune Runners. My question is, which tire goes on which side. The rib the runs down the middle of the tire is flat on one side and beveled on the other. Which way should the rib be, flat out, beveled out? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Just use some common sense man. If you sat the tire in some water which way would you position the paddle to move the most water. If you can picture that then I think that it will start to come to you.

assuming you are talking about the front tires, put the flat side in. It turns the sand away from you.

Thanks dalegoldston, I was thinking that was probably the right way using common sense but wasn't sure.

BigDog, my common sense plus the directional indicators on the tires made it clear as to how I should run the rear paddles. However, Kenda Dune Runners are FRONT tires and not so easily figured out using common sense.
