Drat. You're right Chuck.

I've got Nitto Invo's with an asymmetrical tread pattern.

No way to dismount and flip 'em.
I guess I've found a new maintenance cost.
Oh well, I'm still going to push it on these mountain roads; not quite the Tail of the Dragon, but there are quite a few fire breathing geckos to slay.

Do you think lowering my car to get a negative camber would be of much help?

Maybe I should go with 18's all around.
Then I can rotate, save money when I have to replace those pricey 19's and get better acceleration. Still, I'd hate to mess up the look.
