invrtdsa1nt has a little shameless behaviour in the past

rotation arrow on tires

how much of a big deal is this if they are going backwards? it never rains here, ever. no snow either. just dry, all the time. so is it a big deal if 3 out of 4 are going backwards?

Yes its a big deal. The belts and guts of the tire are intended to rotate in one direction. Get them flipped the right way. Whoever mounted them should be taken out back and shot.

it can inadversely affect the tread on the tires. and in wet weather the tires wont direct the water in the correct direction to keep you in contact on the road.

Umm if it weren't a big deal they wouldn't have the arrow, so go turn them NOW! Or you could die from the tires exploding

if you drive over something as simple as a puddle, you will be pushing water UNDER your tires, and trying to keep control. It also may wear improperly.

NEVER have driectional tires backwards!

not everyone who works at discount is stupid....
if you would do like anyone who knows enough
and watch them mount the tires/wheels
you could have prevented this yourself
instead of coming on here and questioning
what you already knew to be wrong
