Any problem swaping P6000s from left side to right side?
The tires are not directional and I am wearing my right tires more than my left (for 2 reasons: you see better around left turns, hence faster, and right handers are slightly off camber for drainage). I have already swapped front to back.

hmmm...i need clarification.
i was told that you should not rotate wheels side to side unless you actually remount the tires so that they retain the original rotation direction.

the "no side to side rotation" is only needed if the tires have directional treads (m)
then you can only do a front to back rotation. i'm not sure about the p6000's, but a couple of folks including Eddit@Tirerack have said the p6000's aren't directional.
side to side s/b OK.
side to side s/b OK.

basically, i was told that...
when a tire is used to rotating in one direction, you shouldn't reverse the rotation even if it's not a directional tread design. maybe an old wives' tale?
