Ive heard a few guys say to run the Michy 2.8 and 2.5 opposite of the arrows on the tire. Is this true?

OK, so I did a search and I see that the 2.8 and 2.5 can be run opposite the arrow. From what I got from the tread is; they brake better if reversed but roll better if used the correct way. Right?

Also, what tire pressure do you guys run with DH tubes in the 2.8 and 2.5? Does 20 psi in the 2.8 and 23 psi in the 2.5 sound about right?

You are correct about the direction benefits, for pressure thats about where I run them i think. It will depend on your weight and the conditions you are riding in. There is a cool little michelin tire guide here: http://www.descent-world.co.uk/stendectyreguide.htm
