Tires: Directional Tyre put in wrong direction, directional tires, directionality

Question
Hi,

 My car dealer put my back directional tires, in the wrong direction. I found out this when there was a flat. What are the effects of this?

Thanks,


Answer
Basically, a directional tire put on so that it is rotating the opposite direction it was intended will only lose the benefit the directionality would have given  - usually wet traction.  So once the tire is reoriented, there should not be any lasting effects.

Hope this helps.
