Default Question on Direction

I swapped my two front tires side to side because of balancing. Now the tire tread is going the oppisite direction. Does this make a difference. (It fixed the problem, the car would shake at high speeds.) Thanks oh tires are 17" aftermarket.

yes that does make a differance. they will be louder when driving down the road and they will wear 2x faster so u will get less miles out of them. I would say take them to a tire shop and have them switch them it shouldn't cost alot..

if you have directional tread, then rotate from front to back, if you don't, then rotate X pattern
