Default Flipping Victoracers

Any problem with flipping Victoracers to get a little extra life out of them? The front outsides are getting pretty low on rubber but the insides still look to have a few good runs left in them.

Thanks,

Do it!

I haven't, but I've seen it done. Shouldn't be a problem, if you get enough extra runs out of them to pay for the flipping (or if you do it yourself).

When you have them flipped, have the tire guy mark where the tire stem is so when he flips it he can mount the tire so it lines up with the stem again. This will keep the balance close enough that you don't need to spend the extra money on getting them re-balanced.

Do it. Then ask him for some more (-) camber while you're at it

Thanks, I thought it was OK but I wanted to check with the experts. That's you guys. Good suggestion on the valve stem by the way.
