How bad is a improper tire balance?
I just realized that after getting my rims and tire combo from Tire Rack they have all five tires mounted backwards. Every current outboard facing sidewall has the words mount facing inboard only. (Wrangler MT/R) Is this bad and should I seek getting them remounted.

Some hardcore wheelers prefer to do this with some tires like the MT Baha Claws. As for daily driving i would not recommend.
I'd have them fix the rotation asap, fire the half wit who can't read or even see an arrow.( just think, that guy prob puts peoples rims on with an impact gun). Scary!
Depending on how many miles you have on them I might try for a replacement set of tires. They were not used as intended per manufactures instructions and therefore would technically be voided of any and all warranty. Just something to think about. Sorry and good luck. Ps the new tire rotation will make the ride a bit smoother with better MPGs.

Just called Tire Rack, they are going to pay to have the tires re mounted and balanced. This is not a DD though, so maybe I should just leave it alone? Also they are an extremely rough ride going down the road right now.

Thanks for the advice though.
