Directional tires=the biggest marketing ploy ever. Tirerack tested them in the right direction and in the wrong, and having them right made the car a whole tenth of a second faster on a wet lap, woooo hoooo.

Try driving those on the Interstate in the rain when they're on backwards. Ever see a Contour float at 60 mph??

Have you ever done it? I seriously doubt it makes a big difference. Like I said, tirerack tested it, driving the car to the limits. Don't you think if it would cause hydroplaning at 60mph, that it would cause a big loss of control doing fast laps.
