aha.
Had the same plans with the Michelin Dynamic Classics on my last build.
But i'm not sure if i will turn them after reading this on sheldonbrown.com:

Tread for on-road use
Bicycle tires for on-road use have no need of any sort of tread features; in fact, the best road tires are perfectly smooth, with no tread at all!
Unfortunately, most people assume that a smooth tire will be slippery, so this type of tire is difficult to sell to unsophisticated cyclists. Most tire makers cater to this by putting a very fine pattern on their tires, mainly for cosmetic and marketing reasons.*
Doubt i'll crash and die with the tires the wrong way around...
