FWIW,

You gotta watch the tire jockies at Discount Tires(probably all).  I told the manager when I went in for rotating my Hakkas that they were directional tires, & he said yep, & then the jockies rotated & crossed them over so that I was running 2 tires backwards for a couple of hundred miles till I noticed & took em back for correction!

They gave moi a $50 off card for their mistake, after I got perturbed in their waiting room full of other folks, but they did make the correction IMMEDIATELY when I went back.

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-never open a tire thread w/o proper warning
