Has to do with how the tire is made. Cord, fabric, directions they are laid and that fun stuff. For the most part this "direction" deal only matters for the first couple of heat cycles. DOT numbers face towards the left for the direction of the materials to rotate forward (if that makes any sense).

After those first couple of heat cycles in the direction of travel the materials have "seated" in and the tire is less likely to try to "unwrap itself from itself from spinning backwards."

why have you gone faster on bassakwards tires? care to take a stab at it
Because I went to Carolina Dragway.
