Tire Question : poll.
So I've got some Hankook RS Z212's on the back of my protege that have been there for about 20K. I've gotta say that the insides are at least 1/2 worn if not on their way to 2/3rds. The tires that came on the front of the car are definately gone and need replacement.
I'm trying to decide if I buy 4 new tires of a nominal performance level (aka Kumho 712 level, but not those tires) for like 60-80 each installed. OR if i swap my rear 212's so that the outsides (barely worn at all) are now the insides and i wear them "back to even" and put some new RS Z212's on the front (200 installed).
I'm just not sure if it is safe to "invert" tires like that if I haven't kept to a normal tire rotation schedule (wanted to kill the shitty stock front tires first).
Let me know if you think it is safe or not.

I'm not saying direct rotation by simpilly swapping wheels. I'm talking about removing them off the rim, and putting them on a wheel from the other side.. the RS Z212 ARE directional.

Buy some new ones first, then just go out and tear the living shi*t out of the old ones for a little fun.
