I agree with both comments. I wasn't referring to flipping on the rims but rather the more common practice (like with Nitto's and Hoosiers) of just moving tires from right to left and vice versa. In the dry, you'd probably be ok with rotating RE71's, but in the wet (and I learned the hard way) you have to maintain direction.

So...in summary...we are in agreement with each other.
