Since the tires appear directional, I would just mount them inside out and swap left and right every 2-5 events to maintain even wear, especially if the wear is caused by long high speed sweepers in one direction only.
The sweeper you'd be referring to is the "bulb" at NJMP Lightning, or other refer to as the "head' LMAO. Stupid question but wouldn't outer edge on the left indicate a left handed sweeper, and not right? Also has anyone ever rotated L <-> R without flipping? Seems like that'd be the best way to even things out...
