Picked up my new tires today. I admit, I don't know that much about skidsteers. When I bought mine, it's tires were slick as they come. Question is that the thread of two tires are opposite the other 2. I assumed they knew what they were doing. So I installed them with them matching on the front and matching on the back. Later I got to thinking about it and looked up pics of new bobcats and the thread direction goes the same on all four tires on the new skidsteers. How is it supposed to be? I understand the traction is needed both ways but pushing the bucket requires more????? I'm thinking they are wrong and need to go back?????
 
LOL, I must look stupid, 20 minutes after posting this I realized what I did. I will switch them tomorrow
 
They should all face forward, there should be an arrow on the side wall.
Some say one forward, one back for equal traction, but in reality, most of your work is forward that requires the most traction.
