Default put on backwards?

Calm down, take a deep breath.....

This is only a rhetorical question. I did not, have not, nor plan on doing this. It is strictly FYI.


So,
What happens when an asymmetrical tire (like ours) gets installed backwards?
DOes it just get squirrely?
Nothing except drastically increased wear?
Does the fabric of the time and space start to unravel?

They will be fine but they won't give as good performance especially in the wet. Your tires are actually directional.
