I've always heard not to reverse tires, even if they aren't directional. Is it a valid option to try?
Hmmm, never heard that before.
Always thought you could mount either side on a non-directional tire.
Mine have white letters on the outside, and the same lettering but in black on the inside. Always just assumed that was so you could choose one or the other?
This is definitely not a thing. Swapping a tire side to side changes the rotation. And it helps reduce tire wear as tires wear with respect to the direction they're rotating and the forces on them. Reversing can "even them out."
Probably a tire shop told you that.....sell more tires that way!
