Can Kenda Bias Ply Tire/Wheel AM3H220 Be Rotated to Opposite Side of Trailer
Question:
Can I rotate these so that they will be rotating in a different direction? I have them on a small motorcycle pull behind tent trailer a Lees-ure Lite.

Expert Reply:
Yes, it is perfectly safe to rotate Kenda bias ply tire/wheel # AM3H220 from one side of your tent trailer to the other.
Many year back the early radial tires that were produced for autos could fail if their direction of rotation was reversed. Those early radials' construction caused them to have "memory" and changing direction of rotation for such tires was considered an unsafe practice.
Today this concern no longer applies to the modern radial or bias ply trailer tires like this Kenda unless the tire has a directional tread (this tire does not).
