Hi Andrew

It shouldn't have done any damage - it just means the tyres wouldn't have been able to deal with heavy rain as effectively as when they're fitted the correct way round. The tread pattern is designed to cut through water, but when they're incorrectly fitted the water gets 'stuck' at the bottom of the V and you're more likely to experience aquaplaning.

I agree that it's a pretty basic error for a dealer's mechanic to be making.....
