Directional tires are made to maximize resistance to hydroplaning. They must always roll in one direction to maintain its wet traction capabilities. The tread blocks and grooves optimize handling and channel water out of the tires. Don't know if it will ruin your tire, but they were designed to roll in only one direction, and you might be taking a very unnecessary life risk.
