   No issues with cross or modified cross as long as the tires are the same   
   sizes and are not directional tread, been that way on all cars/trucks   
   for a long time.   
      
   The issue with the direction change was in early tires where the cords   
   would shift and could cause issues in them if that direction changed.   
   That hasn't been the case in modern tire construction for decades.
