Im looking to get a set of wheels with yokohama a032 tires on them and was wondering how fast will they wear. Ive read that they grip well and I go through tires rather quickly. Also, how badly do they grip in the rain. thanks

Bad idea for street tires.

^^^

but a really cool thing about them is, when you have used them for racing for a while & the treads start to wear down pretty good, i believe you can flip the tire inside out & use the tire like new..... but im still unclear on this :confused

EDIT: i was right, taken from tirerack's site:

The symmetric directional tread design is molded with 6/32" deep original tread depth and can be run at full tread depth for autocross competition. We suggest shaving ADVAN A032R tires to between 3/32" to 4/32" of tread depth for competitive road racing. As the tire's outer shoulder tread wears from hard cornering, the ADVAN A032R's directional tread design and symmetric internal construction allows worn tires to be remounted "inside-out" on their wheels to help prolong their life

You are never supposed to change the direction of a tire. It is a known fact that once a tire has been used in one direction then it can explode if used at high temp/high speeds in the other direction...
