My questions is, can i run them in the opposite direction as the NS outside edges are going but OS outside edges are fine, so my plan is to swap them over.
Can't really see there being a problem if it is dry......thoughts?
Tyre direction?

Re: Tyre direction?
Run in reverse autotest style 
I would tend to agree it should be fine as long as it's dry and the forecast would appear to be ok If it happens to be wet I wouldn't change them though.

Anything goes on track, I had four different tyres on at one stage.

Re: Tyre direction?
Agreed. The tread pattern only matters when its wet.
I used to swap my Toyos around on track events to even out the wear.

Re: Tyre direction?
Some of the caterham racers run their tyres in reverse direction in the wet - they say it improves stability under braking?
