Alex,

Rather a strange one this, because on a tractor or earthmover, the point of the chevron has to hit the ground first, but if towing a trailer implement with similar treaded tyres, they should be fitted the opposite way. Now I have heard it said, that all wheel drive trucks should have the rear tyres chevron point first, but fronts with chevron point trailing. the FV1201 does have the rear tyres with point first if you look closely.

I reckon this subject could run and run

Richard ..
You are absolutely right on the rear tire direction...
Strange debate and does anyone know for sure..This debate has been around for as long as I can remember,and why should the fronts and backs be different on an all wheel drive..???
