Tires and Wheels problem
1996 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I forgot to mark my all seasons when I took them off. If they're installed and turn the opposite direction from before will they fail catastrophically - unravel like?

Hi twopass,

Uni directional tires would have arrows marked on the sidewall so you can't go wrong, unless you don't know how to differentiate the forward rotation.

Non specified directional tires, ie common tires does not matter which way they are fitted as long as the tire wear are normal.
