Default Anyone turn their wheels around?

Just whipped the front wheel off the bike for a new tyre and was comparing the profile and tread depth on both sides.

The right hand side is bald as a coot, but there's still a bit of tread on the left and plenty in the centre.

Now I know some racers switch the wheel round on the track and was wondering if anyone on here has done it and if it's even possible?

Would help with evening up my tread patern.

Throw the tyre away, Hawk - these wheels are designed to run one way.
Tyres even more so....................
Check the reason for the tread wear - d'you do lots of roundabouts ?

Don't worry Pete, the tyres history

Was just curious, if anyone had done it.

Yeah I do lots of roundabouts always looking for good left-hand bends to even the tyres up
