flipping tire on rim?

hey all,

I currently have sumitomo htr z iii on my car and i've noticed that the fronts are starting to wear on the inside... it's not bad at all right now, but I was curious if it's a common thing to flip the tire on the rim, thus making the inside the outside, and hopefully evening out the tire wear.

i believe the htr z iiis are not directional tires, so this seems possible

any thoughts?

Those are asymmetrical so they have to stay as is on the wheels. The "outside" printed on the sidewall always has to face outward. Otherwise it will be pushing debris under the tire rather than away from it.
