View Full Version : GNCC fronts (direction?)

I know there are a whole lot more of you guys who have these tires...

Have any of you experimented with the direction of the mounting?


What I would like to know is if one direction hooks the front end up better than the other?


Right now I have mine on my KFX 450R mounted in this direction....

They do pretty good, and brake really well... but in certain terrain I detect a push in sharp turns.

I don't know if it's me not committing with enough oversteer... or if it's me still dialing the front suspension adjustments... or if I need to play with air pressure... or if I'm just not getting maximum bite out of the tires.

I thought about turning them around (switching sides) to reverse the tread pattern. I remember this from the old days...

I'm just looking for opinions on this from people who have already played with direction on the GNCC's.

Mounted like you have them, great steering and lots of bite. We run them that way when its wet and turn them around when its dry

So which way would you say you get more turning bite?

If it's the way I have them, I need to start looking other directions and not waste my time switching them and trying them the other way.

I think they bite better the way you have them now. just my .02 though since i am not positive. i would try them out and see how they work the other way. steve

I have the same tires and they are mounted the way you have them displayed int the pic. No problems what so ever with them hooking up, they are great tires.
