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.

I looked at the other pictures. The fronts were corded on the outside, the rears on the inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
Of course, there were moved around the car to get as much as possible out of them.
I ran 22psi in the front, 26 in the rear. I won C-stock in my small autocross group with those psi's.
I think my springs are 140. I do have a rear sway bar and a big front bar.
Not sure if I'm helping or not...
