Hi John, while I don't run those tires, the only way I can even out wear is=
 to turn the tires on the wheels. If you just move the lefts to the right, =
the outside of the tire is still the outside of the tire, just rotating in =
the opposite direction. My uneven wear is scrub L > R on the tread, so to e=
ven out - either keep the rotation the same and dis-mount & remount (tire f=
rom wheel and flip inside out) on the other side of the car, or keep tires =
on their respective sides of the car and dis mount and remount in opposite =
rotation. Always the case - inside of tire now becomes outside of tire.=C2=

I'm running Hoosier Speedster 205/60 15. The tires have a direction arrow o=
n the sidewall. The Hoosier tire factory rep. told me that I could swap the=
 tires/wheels side-to-side to even out the tire wear and extend tread life.=
 No need to remount and rebalance tires.=C2=A0 But that would make the tire=
 roll in the opposite direction as shown on the sidewall. The rep said the =
tire design is symetrical and the directional tread pattern is for water sh=
edding.=C2=A0 My internet query also supports this thinking.=C2=A0 What are=
 fellow racers doing about racing tire rotation? =C2=A0
