rotating side to side is to make the sidewalls last longer, they will typically wear out before the "tread" on the tires... especially on high horsepower, heavy, hard hitting, and or stick cars.

Then why only one side and why such a dramatic failure?

In fact, I noticed you run much lower pressure than I do (7 1/2#). I thought maybe you knew something I didn't, but maybe not. Seems like our cars are pretty comparable (performance, weight, etc.).

If I run more 6 or more cold the car seems to bounce when I leave the line.
