Side to side rotation
Howdy,
I have a C43, staggered tire size oem, so no front/rear rotation. My S0-3 are starting to wear along the edges, what do you think about a side to side rotation? Probably not cheap to do, but better than buying new tires...
Ideas, comments?
Thanks

You can't rotate side to side if they're unidirectional treads can you? (meaning to put the inner edge on the outside after rotation). Would it do any good just to switch the left and right wheel/tire combo without putting the inner edge to the outside?

People will probably charge more for this though...I dunno if it makes sense with these high performance tires that hardly last 10,000 miles anyway.
