tire question
i know the rear tires wear out faster on the inner lip...is it possible to swap the rear tires from left-right or vice versa to prolong and even out its wear?

Directional tires can be flipped on the same axle, asymetrical tires cannot be.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and Continental Sport Contact 2 are not directional, either.
