Hi BMW fans,

I have bought a used set of alloys with Pilot sport 2. I have discovered that I got to left front wheels. The pilot sport are with "direction" so now one are rotation the wrong way!
I were wondering what the influence could be and is it a absolutely no go?

There's got to be a good reason for the direction arrow. It's probably that the tread pattern is not symmetric (different tread pattern on outside vs. inside). This is done for a reason: safety/performance. I would not spin them in the opposite direction.
