Yes & no. Flipping them and running them in dry conditions is OK but won't necessarily make them wear that much better. The portion of the tire on the outside of the wheel stays on the outside even though it may be on a different side of the car.

To truly even out the wear you must do as Marty suggested and re-mount them. This will allow for better wear and also retain the proper tread direction (which a wise old walrus once told me) is really there to channel water away, not to enhance dry pavement traction.
