5. Can I swap tires from side to side? (from left to right and right to left)
ANSWER: Hoosier does suggest, depending on the number of runs, swapping tires on a regular basis. The main reason for swapping tires is to help smooth out or even the tread wear. By swapping tires, it causes the tire to be run backwards, thus causing the tire to wear differently, which cleans up the tire tread. Watch for improper wear patterns on the tread, such as rolling or feathering. The tread surface should have a fine grain or velvet look to the surface. (Top)

I know you stated Radials...but for those with bias....
I swap during the season if I see the tread feathering. 243 passes on last year's set and half tread life left. 29x9 bias.

Thanks Clark, I guess I should have checked their website first! Jim
