Thanks for this thread. This group has always strived to provide help, not criticize. Some people are good at searching and others, not so much. Besides that, sometimes things change. There are new ways discovered to accomplish certain tasks, new products on the market, some products no longer available. Nothing wrong with going over an issue again.

But don’t most rear tires have directional markings? That article states that tires with directional markings are assembled with the tread cut at an angle so that the thrust pushes the splice together. If you mount it in reverse rotation, any thrust would be opposite of what it should be. It’s not the driven tire so there would be less thrust but even friction would create some.

Well, I did a bit of research on this issue and found that manufacturers do not recommend running a tire backwards. Due to the angle of the splice of the tread, it can cause the tire to come apart. At least that is what the one article that I found states. Here is is for anybody wanting to read about it. https://motorbiketireshop.com/biker-news/why-are-motorcycle-front-tires-backwards

I know that Michelin does not make the Commander III in the 150 size for the front. They do make a Commander III 150/80B16 for the rear though. So I am thinking about just using it and turning it backwards. My question is about the manufacturing of tires. I haven no basic for this at all it's just. a question that keeps popping into my mind. When a rear tire is manufactured, I wonder if the way they lay the inner plies and etc. is designed to rotate in the specific direction for the rear. If you turn it around backwards and run it on the front, could that cause delamination or the plies to separate because it wasn't designed to run in that direction?
