[Fot] Racing Tire Rotation Question

[Greg And Alison Blake]

I do the same as Tony described. Have with the tire mentioned originally and others. 

I got 8 hard race weekends out of a set of Speedsters doing this.  

I will add that this works for me on a TR3 with a live axle. The continued inside wear maybe an issue with an IRS car, but I don't have any real experience with that.

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?
