in Front wheel or rear wheel drive cars (2 wheel drive) you're really only going to benefit from tire rotation if you move a tire that was on one of the drive axles, to a position that is not on a drive axle. However, since you can't do this in a rear wheel drive car that has staggered wheels/tires, its pretty much pointless. Any money you think you'd be saving by getting extra life out of tires by switching what side they are on, you'd be spending on mounting/balancing, or just your time, because it doesn't do anything.
