Default Flipped Rivals

Has any one flipped their Rivals? Any loss in performance? I've got quite a bit of wear on shoulders and not sure how these wear when compared to the RE71's. If you've flipped them, do they take a number of runs before they begin to work again?

Flipped worked fine first event for me, dry performance felt like 99%, just don't race in the rain....

I flipped mine last year and this year (we won Nats last year on flipped rivals in the rain no less)

You need to scrub them in again to get rid of the bevel but after that they feel just the same

Ran a test and tune this past weekend. I used flipped Rivals. Tires were flipped with about 120 runs. Tires were fine after a couple runs and have put on another 22. I put sticker tires on for four runs and I was within .2 of the flipped.
