Should not have waited !
I did my pre cruise vehicle inspection a few weeks ago. I noticed my front tires had a little inside wear. Got lazy and did not throw it up on the rack. Wish I had now ! They got trashed on ACH !
It was slow yesterday so I had time to check my wheel alignment. It was toed out pretty good 
Maybe I will get better gas mileage , since the front tires ain't plowing down the road.
And that was not the only ACH damage..... I did hit a rock or 2.... 
Front air damn
Frame connector
Traction bar
Nothing worth fixin tho'

You seem to have the worst luck on these runs. Ortega, Angeles Crest Hwy... I know what happened on the Ortega was the result of shocks, or lack thereof, but man.

I's dismount them and swap them side to side. Put the good tread on the inside.

Can't.. Raised white letters are on one side only. I looks better with the white letters out..
I just put them on the rear for now

Besides, its not safe to switch rotation of the tires

Agreed !
You could swap the right-left and flip them over on the wheels so they keep the same rotation( if they had white letters)....but that is too much work....remember, I am lazy !

You could use a tire marker to make the letters white 
If I had your shop I would definitely be less lazy, ok that's not true

The steel belting starts to run in a certain direction witbh a certain amount of wear on each part of it, switch it around and it forces everything in the opposite direction causing a tear down the center of the tread (I've seen it happen, no bueno). Think of it like this, you have the safety seal on your bottle cap, there is an upper and lower ring, as long as they spin together, the seal won't break, but once force and direction changes, snap, no longer sealed.

The simple answer, you'll throw the tread.
No bueno.
