Description of the problem	I own a 2008 yamaha raider motorcycle and the back tire a metzler 210/40/18 is a directional type of tire however the tread is such that in a water condition the tire does not push the water away as it should it actually pulls it towards the middle upon checking out the tire found it to be backwards the directional arrow points to the front but tread is backwards . I noticed this in a very small amount of water hydroplaining seems to be a real issue i contacted metezler and they just shrug it off and say its no problem. Motorcycle forums i've visited have a lot of articles on this. I would like to know if someone has to be killed before metezler is made to fix the problem by recall. Personally i've ridden motorcycles for 30 years and it was quite a handful to stay upright with very little water involved . A novice rider may not be so lucky i hope someone can make metezler tire company remedy this problem with a recall. Thank you for listening

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
