I dont know about putting the Left Rear on the Right Rear, ever try stepping on it while in reverse, the F1's do not grip at all.

PS If this is what you meant by LR and RR.

I meant putting the RR on the LR and the LR on the RR. I see your point. It is testNtune this sunday so ill give it a sot one run and see. What is the lowest psi i should go down to in search for traction?

i dont believe in that swapping crap, they were designed that way for a reason mostly wet water traction, but they definitly werent meant to grab in reverse direction

I know mine do not grip for their life when i floor it in reverse. I would not try it. That why they are directional tires. Like cpeapea said, they wer enot engineer to grab in that direction.

you could take your fr and put on rr and take lf and put on lr.


no joke, if you haven't rotated, the fronts might have more bite.
