Metzeler Z6 tread direction

[guerreroa04]

Well, i just got my z6 tire mounted and was wondering if the tread direction looks backward, the arrow is going the right way but it looks funny, or is it ok. what is the reason for the reversed direction.

thanks

A picture might help.....

The tread pattern on the front should be opposite direction of the rear

Tread direction wont matter for the front since you'll be doing this

Here is my Front and Rear Metzler Z6's:
They are opposite directions also.

As long as the ARROW is going in the right direction, your fine.

Thanks JaxKat, thats perfect, i know automotive tires but, this is my first bike.
The arrow is going the right way but i thought is was a defect or something.
Thanks to everyone for you input.

The yellow trim looks niiiice. I wont say anything about the windshield, though.

However, that bike's waaaay too clean. Go put some bugs on it.

Well , considering if it WAS some kind of defect , it'd likely be in the mold itself , so it'd effect a ****LOAD of tires .....

For Metzler Z6's on a Kat:
Front - 120/70ZR17
Rear - 150/70ZR17

Much more grip in wet and dry, over the inept Dunlops that came on it. They heat up real quick and are sure footed in twisties.
