Side-to side swap like this:

Left side tire goes to opposite side (obviously), but outer sidewall becomes inner sidewall on other side of the car. You are shifting over, NOT spinning them as you swap sides. This way you don't fool up "pumping" action of the tread design.

I used to do it on my old 5.0 'Stang back in the day. Pals thought I was nuts, but I got more even treadwear that way. Those cars had limited slip, but the tires wouldn't spin evenly on gonzo clutch drops.
