Dangerous to run tires backwards?

[WhipE350]

I don't know if it is dangerous, maybe others know. I do know that with asymmetrical tires like the Sumitomo HTR Z III one half of the tire is kind of all season and the other directional. Well since they don't make a left and right tire one side always has the 'directional' part running backwards. This is true because they are labeled with an 'outside'.

Regarding the pulling...on my Benz I have the HTR Z III and they are awesome tires...BUT one was defective and whichever side the bad tire is on it pulls in that direction. Likely I guess one tire is a little bigger then the other. I got them at TireRack and should have fought to get my money back...kind of late now since they have 16k miles on them.

If you got your tires from Discountire they probably would replace them, they generally are a very well run company.
