Default Solved: BBS E88 with NT01


Because the NT01 is not directional, this is apparently ok to do.
—————-_
Is it ok to swap the left and right wheel? (move the left wheet+tire to the right side/etc)

I cant see any issue.. but wanted to ask the experts before doing so. I drive on a track that wears the right side much faster than the left)

Thanks
Matty

So your right tire wears more than the left? Are you racing circle track? Typically insides wear faster than outsides. I have swapped left for right to even tire wear before with issue. But, I had plenty of tire life left.

Not a circle, but a track with lots of long fast left handers so the right side wears much faster.

Heard from others who rotate wheels in this way all the time no problem. I think flipping the tires on the rim is questionable for most tires though due not just to tread patterns, but potential sidewalk differences inside vs out.
