Flipping Nitto NT01 tires
On the tracks I drive, the LF outside edge takes a beating. Since the NT01 is not a UNI directions tire, why not just flip the front wheels. The LF outside edge will now be the RF outside edge which takes the least beating. The inside of each rear tire wears the most, but I'd have remount them to get the inner edges to the outside.
Do you think it would cause a handling problem if the front tread pattern is not going the same direction as the rear tread pattern. This would happen if I flipped the fronts and did nothing with the rears. Once down to 3/32, this would not be a problem because there only 2 grooves around the tire. Thanks.

I've flipped the fronts and rear and they work just as good with no issues at all.
