[joker??]

HeHe just went and checked the truck 1 right out of the 4 lol

[joker??]

Well spotted Paul. Yeah, in the pic, that front wheel should be on the passenger side.

but then it will have two on that side vince

[Chillitt]

if you only have 1 right that means at least ones got to come off its rim...

The rule with directional tyres, is that as looked upon from above, the tyres should 'point forwards'.

That's to say, I think you've got them right, and Mr Joker's are wrong!!

Thing is, if you look closely at the tread pattern (see close up image at the top) you could make a case for it 'pointing' in either direction.

[Quick piccie later]

I went with the RED direction, but you could equally go with the GREEN maybe?

[dave.j.robbo]

Red is good, I reckon.

Imagine the truck getting stuck in mud (I said IMAGINE!!!)

Now imagine the wheel turning. You want the mud (water/ice) being moved out from the centre of the tyre, not inwards towards the middle..

Red makes more sense..

Heh heh, I don't have to image getting stuck, it happens all too frequently whilst I'm playing.

NP

It depends on which type of alloys you have. My old Surf had non standard alloys which used the bevelled nuts. My new Surf had standard alloys (sort of 8 spokes, but spokes are in pairs if you see what I mean) which use nuts with a washer attached. I just swapped the wheels over so that I could use the nuts from my old Surf on my new one with the steel rims.

[joker??]

these type??

[Slugsie]

Nah, they're not standards, so the nuts you have for it are just fine.

[Slugsie]

Just a bit of a heads-up really. I checked the tyre pressures on mine and found 2 at 45psi(!), 1 at 32, and 1 at 25, not checked the spare as I can't be arsed getting the cover off.

Anyway, I've redone them all to 32psi now, but thought I'd warn you to give them a quick check if you haven't already done so.
