yes - they are directional so they would be rotating the wrong way if left on the rim. remounting them would leave the treadwear on the outside of the tire so i would think they would provide less grip when cornering and more prone to breaking loose...

as an aside, i got around 15k miles on my s02-a. but they were very squirrally in the wet (moreso than normal) towards the end. but i still loved them.
