Default Yoko A008R - reverse mount?

Have a set of older (yeah...i know -OLD) A008R's that have a few more track days left in them. That is, if I reverse mount them. Tires are supposedly "unidirectional" .

Anyone know if you can run them backwards?

Google search and forums search turns up nothing.

TIA!

Jeff

I'd be afraid to use them on the track if they're that old. But to answer your question, Yes. I would run my backwards (in the dry) all the time to geet even wear.

if they have almost no tread left then it doesnt matter.

also like the previous poster said, if its dry it has no real impact on dry perfomrance.

Thx Everyone. They are not fully petrified so they'll drive OK. New they are obviously not. They are just some fill-ins until I get can get the correct rim/tire setup.

BTW - been running them backwards fine. They are a little hard but working. Now in the market for some new skins...
