I put new Conti Motions on my NC 2000 miles ago. Nice tires. But during washing yesterday discovered that the front was mounted in reverse. Really POed at the shop (they also grossly misaligned my rear which I corrected)).
There is some uneven wear on the front - left side more worn than right - but not horrible.
I am taking the bike back to the dealer for resolution. Do I:
1. Leave it alone?
2. Just get him to remount (and balance) correctly?
3. Assert that running a tire backwards has permanently 'set' the tire and it should not be used, therefore install a new one at no charge?
What sayeth the group? I did a search on this and get different opinions, mostly related to water, braking, tires designed for rears mounted on the front. Tried to get to Conti for their input - no joy.
Thanks, Jim
