Sounds like your camber is FAWKED UP.
Tire rotation isn’t going to fix THAT.

Even if you were to rotate LEFT to RIGHT and change rotation, INSIDE is still INSIDE.
The only way would be to dismount and remount the tire the other way.

I use Yokohama's ES-100's. Rotate those back to front and front to back. Do you drive in 4th or 5th? If 4th...that will definately make your exhasts louder because of the tendancy to hover around the 2000 RPM mark.

The dunlops can go from side to side. The W10's or W2's I forget which ones. They are a pretty cheap tires. Also get your alignemnt done. If you don't want to buy a camber kit go to Baer Alignment it's on Arrow HWY in west covina. Take Azuza Blvd and go south to ARROW and then go east. They will custom make a camber kit for you.

Well, I'll just agree with everyone and say to get an alignment.. b/c the insides of any tire will wear on your car unless you get one done.

Any tires that are directional can only be swapped front to back. If you want to go left to right you'd have to do what Shawn said and have them remounted.....

sorry bro, no matter what you do, switchin tires side to side, front to back, even diagonally ain't gonna help. i suggest getting an alignment for starters to see how bad your camber is, and then purchasing a camber kit. you may be able to slide on getting a camber kit for maybe just the front wheels and then rotating your tires front to back and you should be fine. well, that also depends on what wheels are worse off in camber.

yeah, I wore out a set of $1200.00 tires in 2 weeks because I was too lazy to get an alignment...

that was a painful lesson to learn.
