Yep. I flipped my sidewalls, put the good one to the outside. I also am running them forward now, to even out the sharper edges on the leading side. Seemed to work fine this weekend, but I think they do work a touch better backwards.

Is that common to run them backward?? i have seen a few pics of american jeeps running them that way.. thinking of trying it, im guessing it suits rocks more? as i would guess mud would be the opposite (maybe wouldnt self clean as well backward)
cheers

In the rocks, when running them backwards, it helps to push you into the line, instead of away. Works well in sand both directions, same with loose dirt. As for mud....who knows, we only get 4" of rain here a year. These are the comp Claws, but I know a couple guys with the regular bias, and the radials who run them backwards too.
