Try driving those on the Interstate in the rain when they're on backwards. Ever see a Contour float at 60 mph??
I live in Arizona, it rains like once a year...and it really doesn't make any difference on dry ground.
But anyways, when I had new tires mounted...they mounted 1 the wrong way and one the right way. So I've got 3 tires turned in the right direction and one the wrong way. I was eventually going to get the tire unmounted and the re-mounted the correct way but I've been without my car for a month and a half due to a blown headgasket. So that has not really become one of my priorites.
