Just got my Losi zombie tires for my Tmaxx. They look like directional tires. Can anyone tell me if they are directional and what direction is forward?

The tires also have a red dot on one side. Does anyone know that that red dot means?



This is a pic of the rear of some emaxx with zombies. This tires look right to me in this pic.

And here is the rear pic of another truck. To me, it looks like the tires are mounted wrong.


Thanks

The tread in the middle of the tires seem to have a distinctive angle, I'd say yours are mounted "correctly".

The reason I put it in quotes is because for crawling (which the other truck is doing) you get better grip with the tires mounted "backwards"

i heard crawlers mount backwards for better grip like the above said.

lol so next time you think your monster trucks tires arent grippy enough, try flipping them the other way!...[sm=bananahead.gif]

Thanks guys for the replies. I kinda felt like the Zombie tires on the Rock Crawler were backwards.

Does anyone know what the red dot on the tire is for? It is located close to the sidewall.

On mine the dots are on the inside wall when mounted the way we all think is right so it could be a mark to let you know that side mounts inside for directional purposes.
Makes sense to me anyway.

The red dot is to mark the type of compound used. I think the red was "soft", Blue is "Medium", and I dont know if there was a hard.

Thanks for the reply guys. I am mounting the tires as seen on the Emaxx (1st pic).

BTW, I think you're right about the red dot meaning soft compound.
