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.

Ok...let me look here.
They felt fine after we flipped them. I never changed the rotating direction though.
10 events a year. They were dead around 8 1/2 i'd say.
Camber in front was -1
Camber in rear was -1 3/4
205/50/15
A6s, even tired, still are the best way to kick Mazda butt!!

Do you have very stiff springs? There is no way I would be cording
the inside even with my more than 2 degrees. I have 180 springs in
back and 20 torsion bars in front. I haven't played around with tire
pressures, just using 29psi all around.
