Got the car tire on rear now. Time for a frt. tire. Had saw where some were running the 150/80/17  rear tire on the frt. of the Valk. Anybody have any feedback on how that is working out? Any advantages?

When running the rear on the frt. Do you reverse the tire thread  direction?.

Is the rear tire a radial or a bias ply?

Can you use a rear radial on the front?
If so woulld you still reverse the rotation?
