Anyone run a unidirecitonal tyre the wrong way?
Just been reading that the tread on unidirectional tyres is only there to get water away so therefore can you swap rims for a track day and still run the tyre the wrong way without any impact to handling on a dry track?

I've been told the same. I've had to run a couple tires the wrong way, once, and noticed no difference in performance (dry).

Yeah, pretty common internet topic. Seems like the consensus is:
If they are treaded, dont drive them in the rain Marginal tire noise increases Not that big of a deal. Will work OK in the dry w/no real loss of performance |
No problems in the dry... ...never tried it in the rain
|
No issues in the dry, zero effect on Performance.
In the wet though, it can cause a big issue since the tread pattern will be trying to shove water into the middle of the tire, instead of out the sides of the tire... |
