Tire rotation wrong, will it affect my driving?
Hey guys I got a question, today I got my rim/tire mounted and balanced and the thing thats bugging me is that the tire rotation on the side wall of the tire is going the wrong way. I know thats not good but will it affect me much like gas mileage, drivablity, etc. The reason i don't want to go back and tell them to fix it is cause i got a good deal on mounting and balancing 18's, well just one 18 for $6.78 lol which i beleive they thought I was only mounting the tire onto the rim. But oh well, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The tire rack did some testing on that , and they found that running a tire reverse of its rotation direction had Very little effect on dry traction, Wet however was affected.
