My earthlink is kicking my ass arrrrggg!:cry
So I finally got up and going..

Question..Tim the Dunlop man said I could take my slick off and run it the opposite direction to put the T-hill beat'n up side and put it on the right side..make sense to me given there is no tread.

I don't know what lies below..but if TIm says it's cool I assume it is..

Any thoughts???

COVAD next week :teeth

If you are talking about Terry at Dunlop, he told me the same thing. I really dont even remember if I put mine on the correct way from the beginning either! I do know people do it and I will do it on the Meztlers so I would say no problem. Ecspecially since it really has to pattern to wear out.

I've done it too, at Terry's suggestion. It worked fine, but don't expect "new" slick performance out of the tire. It'll work like a worn, heat-cycled slick. Apparently, the people at Willow Springs do this all the time. If you ran Willow Springs and T'hill alternately, you wouldn't have to flip the tire... :cool
