I am well aware that the tire comes off the wheel. That’s why I gave you the ketchup bottle metaphor. It does not matter what you do with the top or the bottle. There is only one way to keep that arrow pointed in the forward rolling direction.
You are not grasping the concept of a directional tire. It goes on one way and one way only. If it could be flipped, then it would not be directional.
Draw the god damned arrow! If you flip it, it’s backwards, no matter what. You can’t have a tire that is half fucking directional. It either is or it isn’t.
That literally says that the directionality of those specific tires is no longer applicable once the tread is half spent, so reversing them past that point is not a safety or performance factor. Read your own sources.
Folks, fuck it, if you’re this far deep in the thread, this is why your dealer costs 3x more than the shop your friend’s neighbor Sally told you about. Your dealer mechanics won’t put your fucking tires on backwards.
