Possibly a daft question I know but, the tyres on our cars are directional.
What is the implications if you run them fitted the wrong way?
Is it just a wear issue `cause of how they have been designed or will the handling suffer that much if mistakenly fitted the wrong way?

Cheers

IMHO
Directional tyres - more to do with water dispersal i think, put them on the wrong way and the water will try to go to the centre of the tyre rather than off the sides.

Must have an effect on the handling i suppose

Just my thoughts and not gospel.

Thanks for your thoughts.

We don't get much rain up here, sun drenched skies and beach blonde babes abound.
Doughball brain here has just noticed my back two tyres were on the wrong side but didn't notice any change in handling, hence the query.
