Directional tyres, these tyres must be fitted in accordance with the instructions on the sidewall. The direction of forward rotation is indicated by an arrow, words or both.

Method of Inspection

fitment in the correct direction of rotation


Reason for rejection

A tyre not fitted in accordance with the direction of rotation marked on the sidewall

Why not take the wheel off yourself ?

A garage will charge you £5-£10 to turn it round.

Also, what do you think is wrong with the axle nuts ?

well that the fact that if u look at the axel its lile just over half way into the nut, prob coz it might come undone and he might fail it? yer i could take the wheel off but the bike only has a side stand and i aint got a bench 2 put the bike on so theres my problem, i took the back wheel off once 2 change the sproket and i woz na took me like 1h 2 get it back on but thats my only option realy if i whant 2 save some money

Can you not get a paddock stand from someone to use ?
It will be alot easier to get the rear wheel off, instead of trying to balance the bike on a jack.

Anything from £20 upwards. They're a very handy thing to have.
Even when doing something as simple as lubing the chain it makes your life alot easier.
