Default Tire rotation

Well, I was leaving today and looked at my front tires. I have washed them, shined them and looked at them so many times but, today I noticed that they were put on wrong. Rotation arrow is going the wrong way.

Well, I thought thoses dumb a$$es at the tire place screwed up. No, I put them on.

SO the question is, after about 600 hunfred miles on them should I leave them alone or can I switch them and suffer no ill consequences?

Thanks in advance. Sincerely the dumb a$$.

I would change them to get the rotation correct. Wouldn't take a second thought. Any small 'set' that the belts may have assumed in 600 miles will be forgotten the first time you drive through a little rainstorm at speed. Then, having the water push and channel out towards the sides will seem much better than having the tires pull it towards the center of the tire where it has no good place to go but up.

^^^^
FOR SURE change them to the correct directional rotation! Get caught in the rain with them on backwards and you could have BIG problems!
