I've heard this from many people, but never from any more reliable
source.  Does anyone know FOR SURE if this is true, or out of date
info, or folklore?  I've been swapping the direction of rotation of my
tires for years, and never had a tire fail or any problems like
mysterious balance trouble or uneven wear or bubbling that it was
supposed to cause.
