Flipping tires over - opinions?, (Hoosier A6) Options

[mskala]

This is my first autocross season using the Hoosier A6. Basically, given my
street-friendly suspension settings, I get more 'roll' on outside edge of the
tires and after 8 days I figured I should flip them over if for no other reason
than to avoid early cording at the edge.

So, I did that and just did the first autocross, and they at first seemed
terribly slippery (although the morning was kinda cold) and even by the end
of the day still not as good as before. My times were off compared to others.

I was told by a 'seasoned' guy I know there that it will take time to get them
scrubbed in going the other way. Is this to be expected? Now that I think
about it, across the whole tire the wear was not even (it gets a bit wavy), so
flipping them must also put less rubber down to the pavement initially.

Thanks for opinions.

Flipped them? Are they all rolling in the same direction as before?
I also noticed that the Hoosiers liked it better when it was warm out!!!
I also think, with a flip, we got them to last a year with two drivers. Five to six run each.
By the way, with my -camber, we corded the insides.

You've left out all the best parts

Did they feel bad after flipping?
How many events did you do in the year?
How much camber? (I have slightly over 2)
Those look like 205/50/15? I have 205/45/16

My tires get switched around every event, so they are almost always
changing direction of rotation. But now that they are reversed on the
rims maybe the same parts of the tire are not touching, as the wear
is not even across the tread.
