The R1200RT / Hannigan I purchased last fall has a reverse mounted rear tire on the front. My two previous rigs have both had car tires so I have not been faced with this question before. Wondering the logistics, positives, negatives. Just like "what is the best oil", I am sure that absolutely everyone has an opinion. I'm interested in yours!! Thanks!!

Rear tires on front give you better load rating and longer life. Mounting it backwards gives better braking traction than it would have if mounted forward.
pics?
