Guy that runs the shop I where I buy tires said if you mount/ unmount tires to many times, it is hard to keep a good seal, and you have to add air every couple days.....
Only if you damage the bead, some times leaks develop from rust or damage to the rim. I see these issues as I mount and dismount lots of tires.

Take a bottle and mark an arrow on it. Roll the bottle in a forward motion watching the arrow. Now turn the bottle as if doing a tire rotation, roll the bottle in the same direction, what do you get?
You don't turn the tires, you just reposition them.

Go back to my example of the arrow on the tire. When you rotate tires, you mount them with the same side on the outside, turning in the same direction. Or say you've got whitewalls: if you turned the tire, the whitewalls would be on the inside. Think, or give me a better example than a bottle with an arrow on it.

When I roll my copenhagen can away from me with the lid to the left it reads negahnepoc when I roll it away from me with the lid to the right it reads cpoenhagen same direction opposite rotation.
In other words driver side tires turn counter clockwise when the car is moving foreward while passenger side tires turn clockwise.
You mean the tires turn in opposite directions? That's the wrong way of looking at the issue. If it helps, don't look at it from the side (clockwise) look at it from the tread. Both tires turn forward when the car is moving forward. One side doesn't turn forward while the other side turns backward. Although that would allow for a quick turn, it's not relevant to forward motion.

If you take the right rear tire with an arrow on it and put it on the left front the rotation of the arrow is not the same.
It's science, The bottle is a perfect example. I'm done.
Just look at the flowers Lizzie, just look at the flowers.
It's still rotating forward. I don't see the problem understanding this. "Forward and rearward" are the measurements you're looking for and not falsely looking at clockwise and counterclock.
When you rotate tires, the tires are still going forward, regardless. Which is why you can rotate tires, but not mount radial tires in reverse to the direction of travel. i.e. reverse them on the wheels.

When tires are rotated, they are not dismounted from the rims. The lug nuts are taken off, the tire and rim assembly are move to a different corner of the vehical and bolted back to the hub. In a normal FWD car, the front tires are moved straight to the rear. (rt front to rt rear, left front to left rear) The rear tires are crossed to the front. (rt rear to left front, left rear to rt front) The tires that are now on the front are turning in the opposite direction of rotation than they were when they were mounted on the rear. The reason they are rotated in this pattern is that 'most' FWD vehicles, even when properly aligned and proper tire pressure, will cup the front tires with normal driving. The front tire tread also wears about twice as fast as the rear tires. This is also normal since the front tires carry more of the vehicle weight, drive the car and provide a majority of the braking.
Moving the front tires to the rear mainly evens out the tread wear amongst the tires. When the rear tires are crossed to the front, the direction of rotation changes and the cupping will even out to a certain extent.
Hope this explains tire rotation a little bit.

Gene, hold a plate, Frisbee, dip can, or any round thing you can. Start rotating it as if it is rolling forward. Now spin it 180 degrees while still rotating in the same direction. Notice now it is going the opposite direction it was before.
Unless life also hands you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck!
The first video shows a model R/C truck with an arrow on the right front tyre pointing in the direction of rotation if the vehicle is going forward.
I then dismantled the front axle and moved the tyre to the front left side with the arrow in its original position on that tyre.......and video'd the vehicle moving forward again.
You can see that the arrow is going backwards in the second video.
To get the arrow going forwards I would have had to take the tyre off the rim and turn it around so that the arrow was on the inside.
If you look at the tyre in the first video you will see that the tread is 'directional', when I swapped the tyres over the tread is now facing the wrong way....

I use the remote control truck to drive my .22 targets out to 50yds.........saves me from walking a lot........+ its the middle of winter and chasing females that I cant catch tyres me out.......Pun intended.

When I began reading this thread, I had no idea it was going to be as entertaining as it was! Alec, your video should lay this argument to rest, you are The Man!

Good grief Charlie Brown.
You need to turn the wheel to mount it on the other side. Unless you have those double sided mounting wheels.
