Has there been any settlement on putting the rear MT on the front? This is as far as which direction is better and why? I’ve read both ways now, and am not sure which to go with. I feel this may be as opinionated, as going to the DarkSide, with the rest of the world. I would like some other people ideas.

I'm half way there with you also, cept' I do believe in stopping with the front brake. I think that puttting the tire on in the direction of the arrow makes more sense, however, I am willing to listen to others to get their feed back.

Look at #3. It's from Metzler's own faq section.

Or straight from the horses mouth.

Hey leatherman, I'm in Charlotte. You should ride with us sometime. We usually do a Sunday morning meetup, and Thursday bike night.

Well I'll be darned. Thanks for sharing the link. I wouldn't have figured the braking force would be significant enough to be concerned, one way or the other, on the front tire.

Doesn't it seem odd that they make no reference to the functionality of the tread pattern being reversed? It almost leads one to believe that the tread design is more cosmetic than anything.
