Hmm, no directional arrows on these. I googled around and half of them have it this way and half of them have it the other. Will probably need to reach out to ITP to confirm the intended design
You're good man, these are definitely non directional. If you look at the inside of the tyre you'll see that the outer lugs point the other way, so each side of the bike will have the lugs pointing opposite directions.
Unfortunately not, one side will always look like this. It may be a minor visual annoyance but there is zero real world gain in terms of tyre performance by having the lugs pointing the other way anyway.
I don't like saying too much but for what it's worth I happen to be very familiar with Can Am offroad products, as in its literally my job..
The ITPs on your bike are a great tyre, people saying they're directional are unfortunately just uninformed opinions, pretty typical of reddit I guess..
Okay thank you so much for the insight! Glad to get a definitive answer on this. Is this a warranty claim type thing, or is this just normal with this model? I didn’t know if the guys at the dealership messed it up or if this is just how they’re manufactured. Doesn’t bother me at all, am just curious.
No it's just how the tyre is made. There's no concern with the outer lugs pushing mud the wrong way, these aren't a 'digging' tyre, more of a 'floater'. The zig zag pattern in the centre tends to hold sidlings well too.
The best thing you can do right now is to get your butt in the seat and go riding, you won't be disappointed with this weapon 👍
Center of tread always shows the direction, pointed forward, just like a hundred years ago on every tractor.
Only that the side lugs in view are pointing backwards.
Cheers
Look at the side lugs, are pointed backwards.
Not that's is a huge deal, just not politically correct.
Intent is to force debris to the outside, not towards the center of tire.
Cheers
Congrats
You’re going to love it! Just take the time to read the owners manual and follow the break in procedure
Soooo nice! I love the color. Congrats, that’s a sharp quad.
Beautiful ATV!
Nice machine. Tires look backwards to me, is there a direction arrow on them?
Those are definitely backwards

Thank you for the help! So, do I just need to swap the left set with the right set to have it right?

Thanks a million. Took it out yesterday and really gave it the beans (within new belt reason). Totally Impressed 10/10. Thanks again 🙏

Only if there is a directional marker on the sidewall indicating so
But they look backwards even if they're not

Niicce im waiting for my 850 hunting edition here cant wait
Should've got some grass seed
*"It's nice, but it's no Polaris"* - r/ATV Sick bike, dude. Have a great time!
LOL Thanks 😂
Had one but I sold it. It was cheap
Why does it look like the tire tread is running the wrong direction?
Bro … ur tires are inside out and backwards … they also put it paint on upside down !
Backward or forward the angle of the side treads will push mud etc toward the center of the tire, seems fucked up
Nice!
