Saab: Rotational Aeros

Paul Halliday (co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :
 
 

No.

The tyres, possibly, but it's more likely to compromise their ultimate grip.
The wheels, it's purely cosmetic - maybe they extract air from the brakes a
little better, but that's not really going to be a problem on the road. They
may even stay cleaner, the wrong way round, if they're pushing air over the
brakes rather than sucking it out...

No, none at all. And if it were me, I wouldn't even do anything about it
'til I next had the wheels off for another job.

Thanks for the replies - glad to know there's no damage done. I'll still go
and shout at the tyre fitter though

Worst that could happen is, you would get better braking and worse
acceleration grip (especially in the wet as the directional channels
wouldn't clear the wrong way), or vice versa, depending on how the tyre
was designed to perform.

The tyres are pointing the right way, so grip should be fine; it's the
wheels that point backwards. As a consequence, I get cleaner wheels, but
suck small dogs into the brakes (or so I'm told)
