In an effort to equalize tire wear, I am contemplating running my Nitto 555RII's in reverse of the sidewall markings. I have no concerns about wet weather traction due to tread configuration and there is less than 4/32's of tread left so this is not a factor anyway.

I'm aware that many other R comp tires can be reversed with zero issues, and I've done this with other R comps, but Nitto tech support will not tell me if this is okay from a belt construction standpoint. The're standard CYA reply is to run the tires in the correct direction.

I run a 285/35-18 square setup on a C5Z with an aggressive track alignment and T1 bars. If I could flip the tires/rims from side to side this would open up options that would not require a mount/dismount simply to comply with the sidewall direction markings.

Please keep your replies specific to the Nitto R comps....

I asked the same question several years ago and got many 'no problem' responses. So I did it...no problems.

Thanks for your input....

Running them in reverse should not be a problem, unless it is wet out, then you need to run the correct direction.

He's from SoCal, you'll probably have to explain to him how it could be wet outside.

I flip NT-05's with no issues
