Since the restriction is that the tire should be rolled in only one direction,
would it be okay to unmount a tire, mount it on the wheel reversed, then
rotate diagonally?  Has anyone done that?  That switches between inside
and outside sidewalls, so is not aesthetically desirable for colored
sidewalls, but I see no other problem.  Presumably, one should rebalance
the wheels.
