Depends on your tread design.
But first there must be a reason your tires would be wearing uneven. You either have a camber or toe issue. You should try correcting that issue and you will then not have to worry about flipping tires.

But to answer your question if the tread is the same from left to right just flip them but if there not you will need new tires.

dropped pretty low on coilovers. the wear is from -3 camber

just wanted to know if fellow CL members flip and use the other side of tires before putting new ones on.
