got pirelli p zero corsa asymetricos on the 965 and the lefts r wearing more than the rights (only track at mid Ohio)

Can I safely run em backwards? Just flip the right rims over to the left and vice versa... Running the tread pattern backward

I assume it's no issue

racer

Hmm.. they are called "asymetricos" which would imply a "no" answer.

First is the tread pattern issue. Second could be internal construction issues.

There are other "r" comps that can be run in either direction whose only issue might be reduced effectiveness in the wet, should a tread be showing.

Jim Child

It's only an issue if you're running on a wet track.

I completely agree with Jim.

I find the RPM limitations a bit of a problem when running in reverse...


but the only reason a tire is asymetric is due to the tread pattern, shaved or dry you'll be fine...

+1.

And after 6-7 track days, the tread won't be too much of an issue no matter how you run the tires.

I would also suggest flipping them on the rims after about 1/2 their life.

Gary,

You suffering a little stress lately??

Gary R.

C'mon, it was a little funny no?

bobt993

Gary, your scrubbing too much speed that way.

Turn em, run em.

CWhaley

Just stay away from the wet spots

I run my tires backwards, but I'm usually both feet in.

CWhaley

it is alway nice to see the track from the opposite direction.

If you drive FLATOUT, it doesn't matter which way the treads (or your car for that matter), are pointing.
