It is not adviseable to switch tires from left to right. Tires tend to take a set in the rolling direction, and switching them left to right causes them to roll against the set. This is what I have read in the past but it may be one of those urban myths.

A multitude of skis to feed my need to go faster, faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
