Towards the infield, not the inside of the car as you stated. Left side tires the would be seen from the outside of the car, right side tires from under the car.
I always understood that Hoosier tires were directional. Needless to say I've noticed guys that will flip them to get another night out of them. It is similar to more and more of the street tires. In regards to only mounting up on the wheel one way. Although street tires normally have an arrow pointing which direction they rotate.
I make sure all my consulting clients and customers run their tires in correct direction and pressures at all times. I use to flip tires back in my earlier years, and many still do. We also use to have tires shred a lot then also. Can't for sure say flipping it was cause or if Hoosier tires just improved their tires that much since pre 2010 era. I haven't shredded a tire in many many years and I done a lot of racing in since those days. But just good practice to keep to manufacture standards.
@@DirtTrackDave Well it very well could be possible that the tires were coming apart due to being flipped. I know from experience with directional street tires. That if you monut, and run them the wrong way. They will separate and come apart. Now of course it is my understanding from my experience working in the automotive industry as well as in motorsports for 35 plus years. That bias ply tires are supposed to be run in a similar way to what you were talking about in your vlog. With the stamp facing outwardly. Because how they are constructed. Needless, to say I've seen guys who race and do vlogs on CZcams flipping their tires. Which I questioned to myself. Although personally I would never do it that way with this type of Hoosier tire. Since again it is a bias ply tire and bias ply tires are directional. And technically radial tires are directional after a few thousand miles of being worn in. Plus the thread pattern on a many tires will be like a directional arrow, pointing the way the tire should rotate. Needless to say, your videos are helpful, even if it is causing me to recall. This type of information.
@@TheCrewChief374 I'm confused on the flipping for this simple reason. when you grind a tire, you are wearing it down. wouldn't any built in camber or stagger get ruined when you grind the tire? so if you grind it down, why would you not be able to flip the tire if you grind it a reasonable amount to try and equal the tread out?
@@alexswift Well if the tire is directional; meaning it will only go on the wheel one way. Due to the fact if you put the tire on the opposite way, regardless of the amount of grinding you have done with it. The tire is more likely to come apart, due to the construction of the tire, being such that it can only rotate one way from the manufacturer. So again grinding a tire does not factor into the reason. The tire can only rotate one way. It simply has to do with how the tire manufacturer designed and assembled the tire. You can see this more clearly on road tires; that are manufactured for certain vehicles. Like a Corvette, or another expensive road vehicle. Because if you turn the tires around they don't normally last as long and will come apart. The same thing is true with Hoosier tires. The manufacturers design is what comes into play, not grinding, grooving, or some other manipulation of the tire.
@@TheCrewChief374 just not sure if that is true for every hoosier tire. I did some more reading and only found that some sprint car RRs had extra camber built in but other than that it should not be an issue. but to each his own
By the way would you know David Brannon who drives the number 33 super late model. He is from Eloa, Tennessee and when I met him in 2001 he was racing an IMCA modified at Winchester Speedway in Tennessee.
I'm been racing with numerous customers around the country on and off majority of the year. However, I have gathered 700-900GB if videos to produce new content.
If you notice there more rounded in center like to help with turning. The turning radius of the bat bike was massive! However, for show ok, but sidewalls are very thin and susceptible to punctures especially when leaning with it on a bike. Don't want that in middle of turn, could run tube also as a option for safety. But I wouldn't recommend it for cruzing curvey roads.

He actually said it 3 different ways, which could be very confusing.
So basically on the driver's side you should be able to see that stamp and on passenger side you would need to look under the car
Stamp facing left always. That's on both sides.

Thanks for info every little bit helps

No sir I sure do not know him. Sounds familiar though.
Where’d you go? Planning to make more videos?

@@DirtTrackDave glad to hear you’re okay!
Good tire info: Would you know the Lift~Duration & Centerline in a SUPER Late Model motor ❓
only circumference swell approximations.
.630" to .800". And 285-292 @ .020" duration . Lobe center 108 in general
@@ledoshuffle 🪄 Thanks ~ Wouid you know what the cam Lift~Duration & Centerline is for a ASPHALT OVAL SUPER LATE MODEL Motor is❓
@@ledoshuffle Yeah what he said lol
On all Hoosier tires ???
Correct
@@DirtTrackDave thank you for your reply
So these would not be good motorcycle tires
That's a negative ghost rider.
@@DirtTrackDave damn, they looked so good on batmans bike. I figured it'd be ok on a chopper
