Default Kumho Victoracers and wear

I’ve run my new Victoracers at several track events and … well … they’re not new anymore. The outer tread blocks are worn down pretty good, but the wear indicators (that’s what those dimples are, right?) are still showing quite a bit of rubber on the outside of the tire. The inner tread blocks are still pretty intact. I’ve managed to arrange the tires on the car so wear among the four is fairly even. No chunking. Anyway, I understand that at some point, you want to remount the tires inside out in order to extend their useful life. Question is, when (based on the tires’ condition) is a good time to do this?

Sounds like you should remount inside-out now. Usually when you get to 50% of tread life is when it is done.
