The tread is clearly directional, but I've read where other directional tires are OK for reverse direction use as long as it's dry. (This allows left-to-right rotation.)

I've emailed Hankook's support line and got no response.

I'm going to NJMP in a couple of weeks and it looks like that track beats the poo out of left side tires.

Yes

bad soden

I've done it no problem

hi. yes, in the dry you can run them in any direction.

Be careful going backward for long periods,it gives you a headache.

Bull

Wow! With one gear, what kind of speeds do you achieve?

va122

yea but you can do a smokey u-turn like in the movies go reverse to second though

I've tried going high speeds in reverse both unintentionally and intentionally

Tell me about it. As a kid growing up iin the '70s I logged many hours in the third, back-facing seat of Mom's station wagon.

You can run them backwards in the dry, but only if it is not raining.

Lemming

He can also run them in the rain as long as the track is dry.

Larry Herman

So true.

With the 4 longitudinal grooves, I wonder if the sipes and the outer angled tread blocks will pump much water into the contact patch in the rain if run backwards.

Hankook finally makes the RS2 in a size I can use, might have to try them for the street.

Depends. Is he French?


Just turn them inside out for dry track use.

Glen

He can run backwards in the rain....

Lemming

Only if he remembers to put rain-x on the back window
