Yep, I can flip them on the wheels, and then move the left-sided tires to the right. That way, the inside edges of the tread face become the outside edges and vice-versa, and I can still maintain Toyo's recommendation of the date-code sides of the tires facing the driver's side of the car on the front axle and the passenger's side of the car on the rear axle.

Good idea, but I rotated diagonally prior to noticing this preferential inner-wear pattern, so at this point I don't know if the wear pattern is coming from the front and/or rear. Just had the alignment done a couple of months ago.

I run -2.8 front and -1.8 rear with NT01s and have nice and even wear. I found that -2.0 was a bit much in the rear, so I reduced it to -1.8.
Good to know.

So far with a new set of NT01s, they are wearing more evenly. Driving style has a lot to do with it. As I got faster and started sliding the rears more, I noticed I was wearing the insides of the rears more.
I wondered if maybe my driving is slightly different than it was last season.
