[QUOTE=husker boxster;477183]Just swapping the tires from left to right and vice-versa is what the article is talking about, effectively turning the pattern backwards. But I think Red is suggesting remounting the tires from left to right, which would keep the direction the same. I don't think there should be a problem doing what Red is suggesting.

You're correct. My intention was to give him some information so he can make a decision himself, as I would Never recommend to someone going against the tire manufacturer recommendation. Especially in print! That makes JayG's the only "correct" answer.
That said the OP has asymmetric tires which are non directional. They do have different tread/shoulder compounds inside and outside for specific noise/handling requirements. Is the tire life worth the handling difference? That'll be the OP's decision.
