Just noticed that the rear offside tyre on E46 325 Sport has the rotation arrow pointing the wrong way, I have noticed that I have a "rumble" above 70, I thought that one of the wheels balance wieghts had fell off, could this tyre being the wrong way be the problem?

Almost certainly - also a little dodgy in the wet i would have thought! The tyre won't clear the water as designed.

I had directional tyres on My Mazda 323F. Plonkers at the fitters(you know the ones), fitted them the wrong way round at the front. I drove home with the car feeling like both front wheels wanted to go in opposite directions. Very weird feeling!!

It'll definitely totally mess up the handling in the wet and could be quite dangerous. Get it changed quick.
