I have read the thread thank you. When you rotate two rear wheel tires on an auto (left to right or vice versa) the rotation of travel is reversed. This is the same as turning a tire inwards.
The reason for the rotation analogy is so that you could see how this is a common practice employed by thousands of people every day without a problem. And, YES IT IS SAFE TO TURN THE WW INWARD ON SYMETRICALLY TREAD TIRES.
If you are still concerned call Consumer Reports or the National Highway Transportation Assoc.
