Recently we had a track day at VIR, and Forum member Plimmer showed me some tire damage that he encountered after having his Dunlop D211s "flipped" to ease tire wear on the track he was previously on.
The following pictures were the result:

So... DO NOT FLIP the D211. Please pass the word and be sure to credit Dave Moss as the source of this information.Dan,
211's CANNOT be flipped. They are a V belt tire and directional and will come apart. No one wants to seem to listen but I keep putting it out there! There are many tires that can be flipped safely for extra wear. That list is short but known and this 211 US GP-A tire is the first tire that Dunlop has created that is directional.
