Default Flipping Azenis Outside to Inside

Anyone done it? Any pro's/cons to flipping Azenis outside to inside? My outside edges are worn and the inside there is a still a lot of tread left.

no problem except that the inner treadblocks aren't quite as large as the outer blocks...

tread only matters for displacing rain. the profile of the tires new arent exactly symetrical, but since theyre used, its moot. however, im not sure if the under structure of the tire still requires that its unidirectional, but ive never really heard that ever to be the case, i could be wrong. that would be the only reason why you wouldnt want to on a modern tire. if camber wear was bad, i wouldnt have have a problem with flipping my azenis tho, at least try it out. probably be just as good.

btw, get your alignment checked, your toe is probably causing the uneven wear.


edit: sorry, azenis are asymetrical, not unidirectional.

I only use the Azenis for auto-x. Even with a good toe, the wear should be even across the tread? Like I said most of the wear is on the outside from auto-x. I am only running -1.75 camber in the front and 0 Toe.
