Infraction Hoons Tyre direction bound?!

[BigP]

Hi, why are the Hoons direction bound?!

And is it really important to follow it?

(Sometimes you have some well used tyres laying around, which will be good for one more battery pack of fun (same compound Hoons) but the direction bound does not fit for the wanted tyre to replace.

They are directional but I dunno how important it is. I've run worn ones going the wrong way and it didn't seem to matter tbh.

I would think it has to do with how the belt is laid up in the tire. It might make a difference if it's for a Limitless or any car you're using for speed runs.

You don't say what RC you're using them on so it's hard to say if it matters.

When new, I follow the direction and place them on right...

After they wear too little dots or slicks and I rotate them....all bets are off I place them anywhere.

The 'directional treads' in the Hoons don't matter since they are Not channeled.
It's only for visuals..
They are basically just slicks.
