In the mad rush of prepping everything for an adventure race that I had to get to by plane, I put my rear tyre on backwards.

 

I only noticed this the night before once at the campsite, and I never got the time or equipment to switch them over so did about 210km with them the wrong way round. It's with stans tubeless strip converted and wirebead, so not a 5 minute affair.

 

For those who know the tread, it's only the middle 'ramps' that are directional. I honestly couldn't feel the difference, but i just told my self it was for 'traction' and JB reckons knob shapes are hogwash anyway.

 

Anyone reckon this is a total no no and I should have switched it?
