Battleax tires
can anybody tell me if it matters what way the battleax tires run on the 636ninja. on some bikes from the factory the tread runs one way and on another it runs the other way. Whats up with that? can it effect how the bike grips the road or the way the tire wares?

It can effect weT weather conditions. There is a Arrow pointing in the drive direction though.

I looked both tires over and could not find an arrow. The pilotpowers have an arrow right on the edge but the battleaxes

If it did'nt come with a directional indicator. The manufacturer is giving you a green light to mount it in any rotation. They will not risk their reputation over that with a million dollar lawsuit. Its just like on some all terrain tires. Some might look directional by design, but does'nt really play a significant role with function. If anything else I would email Bridgestone to give you a peace of mind.
