It won't make much difference in the dry. They won't work in the wet but so be careful.

why dont u just swap the wheels around so all tread patterns are facing the right way?
it increases ur chances of aquaplaning when driving over standing water.

And if you had an accident, the insurance could try and use it as an excuse not to pay up.

Assuming that there were two left hand tyres and two right hand tyres fitted on the wheels no problem. If they are all one handed, only one side would be correct.
