Hi,

Since the track I ride on turns counter clockwise, right tires are more wear than left tires.

Is it ok to swap left and right tires? Is it also ok to swap front/rear?

Thank you.

I used to swap diagonally across the car then left to right etc in different rounds, but this only worked when running 27t stock.

I have found swapping left to right and right to left works OK in 10.5, but swapping fronts for rears always makes the car loose. I think this is due to the extra wear and loading on the fronts when running faster motors.

The only other way is to save the pairs of rears and match them up later with rears from other sets.

its fine to swap left right, and rear to front. You always want your best tires on the rear, so it's not usually a good idea to put worn fronts on the rear.

There is no problem swapping left to right.
If you want to swap front/rear then you have to do it early, every one or two runs because otherways you end up having worn tires in the rear.

This works for all kinds of motors.

i always swap left to right and never front to rear

they were different front to rear and if you have ever tried running after front to rear swap the car is lose.
plus front tyres normal scrub more, and rear might have more or less camber so wear is different.

first thing i learned when started rc.
stick to left to right only...
