That's exactly what I would like to do to even out the wear. Mine happen to be wearing more on the outside, so I'd like to put it into the inside by remounting to the other side.
Hmm, that starts to get into a grey area, I assume you are driving these pretty hard to wear the outer shoulder? I would assume the tires wouldn't work as well flipped, but maybe a pressure increase would fix that?
Personally I feel pretty comfortable abusing tires if I'm will within its load rating(running winters in summer, etc.), but if your car is heavy for them and you are driving hard enough on the street to wear the outside edges, you might find bad things could happen running them inside out, especially at normal or slightly lower pressures.
