[AT] Tire reversing

[Louis]

I remember as a kid, we had a 3010 John Deere.  It had Maxi Trac tires, I
think they eventually became Armstrong.  Anyway, I remember seeing an arrow
pointing one way with the wording "traction". Another arrow pointing the
opposite way with the wording "running".  These were on the sidewall of the
tires.

 RE: [AT] Confessing a complete lack of knowledge here

This discussion aside, around here a few custom hay farmers turn their rear 
tires around to run backwards in the belief that running on the highway or 
asphalt gives them better tire wear. Which is yet to be proved in my 
opinion.
Has anyone else observed this?
