Will MyTires Vibrate?

I have about 7000 miles on my tires. I'm tired of looking at the white letters on the side and want to flip the tires over then rebalance them. Can I do this, or will my tires vibrate bad because of wear patterns?

Mac,

As long as the tires aren't a directional tread and carcass (or if they are, are used in the correct direction) it shouldn't matter. If you ae concered about the direction, remount and balance the tires, then install them on the opposite side of the car where the rotation direction will be the same (the same as you would have to do with directional tires).

Thanks. That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure before I messed with it. No reason to do the extra work of flipping the tires if I just have to redo it later. They're bfg radial t/as. Not the best tires, but they work.
