[AT] Tire reversing

[charlie hill]

 Some of the 2wd spreader trucks around here run directional tires turned 
backwards on the front.  That way they roll in muddy conditions.  Keep a 
watch out for it.  Sometimes the golf carts with lift kits and directional 
tires have the fronts turned around for the same reason.  I'm not sure the 
wear would be any different either way.
