Hi John,
I have been flipping the tires on the rims, keeping the direction of rotation
the same with the desired results of evening out the wear.

Subject: [Fot] Racing Tire Rotation Question
I'm running Hoosier Speedster 205/60 15. The tires have a direction arrow on
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. 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 shedding. My internet
query also supports this thinking. What are fellow racers doing about racing
tire rotation?
