hey i was just putting on my new rims today and i accidentally put it on in the opposite direction. i got the falken ziex 512s and luckily i saw it and i switched it with another.
but here's my question. what would happen if you didn't put the wheel on in the right direction. has anyone done this? i mean i would imagine going over water you would hydroplane a lot easier cause it would trap the water. any other things that would happen?

it won't clear water, it makes a lot of noise. It won't damage the tire.

he forgot to mention it also looks bad appearance wise, especially if you have (for example) those nankang tires that look like stitching.

Discount Tire guys did that to me once, luckily I spotted the tread pattern not matching the other tires.
