I flipped mine when the wear (subjective on my part) looked like it was getting to be too much and uneven. Cord was not showing except where I had lightly "skinned" the outside edge on one of the rears.

They worked fine when flipped. I've another set in the mail right now. I had very even wear, and I probably could have gotten another few miles out of the fronts, but one of the rears was showing cord. The other rear is worth saving as a backup.

I got about 1900 to 2000 DE miles on the set. Some of those were not very hard miles since it rained for all 4 days of a NHIS DE.

All in all....I was satisfied enough to get another set. Plus...until 27 Sept you can get a free DVD player from Michelin.

When the Yokohama A84( or 48, I can't remember), or the new Dunlop is finally available I'll have more choices to make!
