Can you rotate 888's?
Or do they need to be flipped on the wheels? Mine the inside edge looks great but the outside edge is wearing pretty fast. Pretty even wear across the rest of the tires.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Rotating without flipping them on the wheels won't help. Remember, wherever you put the tire, the outside edge of the tire will still be on the outside edge of the wheel - which will still be on the outside edge. Sounds like you need more nagative camber. You will get better wear and better handling. Now, if you also drive the car on the street, more negative camber will result in excess wear on the inside. Then you could always install the pfadt camber kit. That will allow you to quickly add and remove camber for switching between track and street.

Yes, very little since the old, old, old BFG R1 tires have assymetric sidewall construction. So even if the tread pattern doesn't favor getting flipped the tire shouldn't care...

Half of mine are flipped. I bought some scrubs and had tire place put the best part of the tire to the inside. As long as you don't drive them in the rain, it won't matter.
