If you're lucky, your left rear is going in the wrong direction too and you can just switch your left rear with the right front. If not, the dealer should switch the tire on the rim and rebalance it for free because it's their mistake. Look at both back tires. They may have mounted all 4 the same way on the rims. Hak 5's must have 2 mounted one way on the rims and the other 2 the opposite way on the rims. Rotating the wrong way probably won't affect wear, just traction. In deep snow, your left side will be pulling better than the right side. Could cause a spin out I suppose. Unlikely though with those tires. On ice should be almost equal because of the studs. Although Hak 5 studs are supposedly pointed in the direction it's rotating. I can't confirm that. Either way it's better to get it going in the right direction.
