Well, I did a bit of research on this issue and found that manufacturers do not recommend running a tire backwards. Due to the angle of the splice of the tread, it can cause the tire to come apart. At least that is what the one article that I found states. Here is is for anybody wanting to read about it. https://motorbiketireshop.com/biker-news/why-are-motorcycle-front-tires-backwards

I know that Michelin does not make the Commander III in the 150 size for the front. They do make a Commander III 150/80B16 for the rear though. So I am thinking about just using it and turning it backwards. My question is about the manufacturing of tires. I haven no basic for this at all it's just. a question that keeps popping into my mind. When a rear tire is manufactured, I wonder if the way they lay the inner plies and etc. is designed to rotate in the specific direction for the rear. If you turn it around backwards and run it on the front, could that cause delamination or the plies to separate because it wasn't designed to run in that direction?

I've seen no article about them coming back. Interesting bike but not my style.

I know that the front wheel will. Several have done that. I don't know about the rear wheel though. I'll say though that sounds like a good price. Much cheaper than I've seen them if they are new. I looked for the front wheel only but the only ones I found were on Ebay and they wouldn't sell just the front. -

If you are looking for used, Pinwall probably has one. -
No, I did not and that's a good point. I'll try it later but I know that it handles much better with air in the tires.
