Default Tire rotation question

I have a 2010 911s with 305/30/19 rear Yokohama tires and the inside tread is wearing quicker than the out side tread .Can I rotate the tires from left to right by dismounting and mounting the tires on the opposite wheels?

Cheers

Paul

Does the tire say "outside" on the outside?

If it does Yokohama doesn't want you to.

If the tire has an inside and outside marked on the sidewall, it's best not to. If it is a directional tire, you can as long as there isn't too much tread difference wear from one shoulder to the next. 1-2/32nds difference is all I would consider to be ok. Beyond that they are too worn and should not be flipped.
