[Fot] Racing Tire Rotation Question

[Duncan Charlton]

I did as Hoosier recommends on the Speedsters that were on my Morgan.  
Since my rear wheels fit differently than my fronts I could only rotate 
left to right.  I never had any problem due to this.  I suppose one 
could mount the right ones the "correct" way if all the tracks you run 
are counterclockwise or on the left side if clockwise.
