  Just curious, have you actually seen this done? I know on bike tires,
some of these directionally mount slicks or street tires will fall apart in
short order if you stick it on backwards. It has do with how the rubber
molecules are aligned. Does anyone know if Indy slicks are directional? I
would assume those are, I'm just curious how far that trickles down.
