What direction?

[allrevup]

What direction should the center Chevron "V" on a HMMWV radial 37" be, when looking at the tire from the front?
The reason I ask is, because when I mounted the 37" to replace the byasply 36", I started on the right side and took notice of the direction to be pointing UP like a tractor tire.
I Did not think about it, nor did I notice that when installed on the left they are backwars, all 5 tires are mounted the same way. I have a vibration that I did not have before and someone notice the left and right tread are opposite directions. After looking at a couple dozen photos of H1 they have opposite tread direction left to right, and I read that is so that enemy can not tell direction. Is this INTERNET B.S.?

I don't think the tires are directional. I think they would have arrows on they, like the V-rated directionals on the vettes, bmeer's and the like. These tires put a lot more stress on the "old" suspension parts. check the kingpins, bushings, steering stabilizer, etc.
A little wornout part equals a little vibration or wobble.

Those avatars on back to back posts are spooky!!

Ksm715 true about just one spare
dstang97 see what you have done, LOL

I just look at a bunch more file photos, and they are pointig up, pointing down and different left side to right side...
So is that to say that there is no right way to run then?

Not BS… Everything in my units were like that.

Right side forward…left side backward… when the enemy sees your tracks, he wont know which way you went.

Love the avatar(s)…

Sounds like the only way to check is to switch one side to see if the vibes go away . . . good luck
