IMHO, running a directional tire the wrong direction will probably have a negative affect on foul weather driving. My guess {and only a guess} is that the tread pattern is designed to shed water in only one direction. There would be no need for the manufacturer to worry about the other direction because nobody backs up that fast {compared to driving forwards}. Worth investigating, I'd at least contact the tire company and ask what makes them directional.
