toyo t1r's, side to side rotate, camber wear etc
 
I have been researching this but can't figure it out. question is mainly in regards to camber inner tire wear

I have t1r's and I am trying to maximize their lifespan. the design appears to allow me to rotate side to side (unmount tire, swap to opposite side of car, mount tire) - is that correct? obviously keeping rears on the rear and fronts on the front.

I have a good amount of inner tire wear (guessing about 25% tread left) and the outside of the tire is still pretty good (guessing 70%). assuming this wouldn't mess up handling charecteristics (?), would it be wise to do this? did I wait too long, are they too uneven, should I just ride it out until it's new tire time?

appreciate your input. sorry if this was covered. I spent a couple of hrs on the googles and on this forum researching.

yeah, swapping L to R is fine.

thank you for confirming that.

will it handle like $hit if I do, though? considering the treadwear is pretty uneven.. ? tire life is great and all, but I want to make sure I didn't wait too long to make the swap.

I just flipped my front t1r's because of madddd camber wear. The wires were showing and the tires looked like slicks lol. I havent really driven on them except for the ride home. Im to scared to get a flat and dent a rim.

Yes you can swap passenger to drivers side - drivers side to passenger side. Figure $100 for a 4 tire swap.

Been doing this for years on my Toyo's. Didn't notice any performance difference.
You should be fine.

You will be fine. I swap front tires because of a on going feathering problem. Tires are still loud as hell after the swap, but will last longer. No noticable change in performance.

right on, thanks guys. 100$ to extend the life of these tires is definitely worth it.
