yes, you can invert the tires and have the worn side out and the good side in. Since they are directional you'll have the left side now on the right side and vice versa. It's good to do before the inner tires are completly gone... doing this gives you some good extra miles out of your tires before purchase some new ones

if you run a staggard set up, you can only rotate your tires from side to side by dismounting/remounting.
