Default OPPs, directional tires backwards

I rotated my tires and realized they were directional. They have arrows pointing a certain direction.

Two of them are backwards because i didn't see this inconspicuous arrow (i don't feel stupid because I did try to look).

The tires are almost done for. They probably have one more season left on them. Do i really have to correct the backwards tires or is it not a big deal?

Pirelli 275 tires btw.

Also, I only drive the car in perfect weather conditions and I really don't feel like redo ing it since they are almost worn anyways. The car drives perfectly fine as it is.

Rotate back to front.... not side to side...and you won't have that problem. Assuming you aren't running larger tires in the rear.

from what Ive heard you definately want to put them in the right direction but I don't have any experience, just hearsay.
