      Running Directional Tires Backwards

      I have a track day coming up in two weeks, and this course tends to eat front right tires. I've searched and searched, but it seems like most internet information is just guesswork from people that have no real world experience. SO...

      Is it ok to run directional tires the wrong direction on a completely dry course? I know there is a big benefit to water channeling, but how about dry traction? Tires are Nitto 555's, and they are staggered front to rear, so I can't just rotate them front to back. I would just run them in reverse for one track day to even out the wear. If not, I can have them unmounted and swapped to the other side, running the insides out, and outsides in.

      Educated thoughts?
