will I cause time to go backwards, or any other problem for short term use? Highway use to finish a trip?

Or should I find the closest tire shop and have the tire remounted for the other side?

Lastly, which side is most likely to get a flat? There must be some bias as to side. I can have the spare mounted for that side to help my odds.


Thanks,

Jim

It could cause some strange behavior if there was a lot of water on the roads. I would avoid warp speeds as well. (just to not cause an imbalance in the space/time continuum unless the flux capacitor was working properly)

I don't understand why Audi doesn't use a high performance all season uni-directional or asymetrical type tire so there is no issue of tread direction or weather concerns.

I changed to Michelin Pilot Sport within 2 months of purchase, now changing to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s, which are not unidirectional. But I saw no need to replace the spare, this time. RE040 spare also had bubble, so no option then.

...due to it being closer to the edge of the road / curb area which is more likely to collect glass, nails, etc.

As far as running a directional tire in the reverse direction, it shouldn't be a big problem although I'd be careful of additional hydroplaning.

Non-deal for a spare.
