<VV> Tire question

[Frank DuVal]

Recently ( for many years) rotating tires has changed direction the tire 
rotates. I do remember the caution of years past, but tire people don't 
seem to have a problem with it anymore.

Of course, I am not talking about those tires with arrows on them that 
have a perferred direction for water dispersal.
