S\'all to do with their construction!

Road tyres (generally) have the structural ply's bound in an overlapping configuration. If you run them in the direction of the arrow then you are compressing the overlap, keeping the tyres strength and integrity. If you run then against the direction arrow you are, effectively, opulling the ply's apart.
Dunno about race tyres but with road ones.........
Good luck! I wouldn't do it!
