Tires, Direction of Rotation Question

Yesterday my friend noticed that two of the tires on my nearly-new ‘04 have the wrong direction of rotation (according to arrow on sidewall). They are the front left and rear right – looks like they got switched somehow.

I’m having the dealer rectify this tomorrow. I only have about 1200 miles on the car and I can’t imagine that any real damage could have been done to the tires. Anyone have other input on this? Should I worry about this?

Cheers!
Bob

Keep an eye on the tires.If they have gotten used to rotating a certain direction and you change it, the tires will start to separate and cause a "bulging" or an"egg" effect. But you should be ok. you dont have that many miles on them.
