You can't flip them on the rim if they are asymmetric as tread pattern and sometimes composition is different across the tire. The Diamaris is asymmetric - don't know about the Proxes. |

Personally, if the tires were balanced well first time I would just bust buy new shoes when its time rather than trying to eke out the last few miles. |

They are directional tires. If they flipped the tire on the wheel, it'd be so that they can rotate side to side, not just front-back. The LF would go to the RR, etc. Would combat any camber wear related issues.

If they can't be flipped on the same rim, could the left rear tire be moved to the right rear rim? They'd still be rolling in the same direction, but what was on the inside will now be on the outside.

The rims are going to stay in the same spot. They would be moving the tire only. It would still be rolling in the same direction....

Short(ish) generalized answer
- non-staggered, non-directional, symmetric can be rotated all round front and back without taking the tire off the wheel - non-staggered, directional, symmetric can be rotated front to back on same side without taking the tire off the wheel - staggered, non-directional, symmetric can be rotated left to right but not front to back without taking the tire off the wheel - staggered, directional, symmetric can be rotated left to right but you need to re-mount the tires on the rims (inside out so to speak) - staggered, directional, asymmetric can not be rotated I think the Toyo Proxes are staggered, directional and assymetric (last one above) so you can't (or shouldn't) rotate them. |
