[Fot] Racing Tire Rotation Question

[davehogye]

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.

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?
