it will not seperate, it has been years since tire technology was that bad..
directional tread design is designed to improve your wet weather performance..
it will be fine

my directional tires were mounted accidentally the wrong way and although nothing happened, there was bad vibration above 60 mph on the highway.

it will cause faster tire wear... other than that it should not seperate or blow out.

Most common side effect is they also sound like an airplane while driving above 45mph
