Tire rotation: Left to right?

I would swap my rears left to right mid season, you get much more life out of a set.

My tires (OEM) are marked "outside". How important is this?

Very. You need directional not asymmetrical tires to be able to swap them side to side...but you have to pull them from the wheels and swap them.

So are the OEM Bridgestone potenza 050, that are marked "outside" directional or asymmetrical?
