Is that true? I was told years ago that the steel belts conform to the direction of travel and that switching to the opposite side of the car was bad. Just what I heard, I frankly know Jack about this stuff.

Was that person trying to sell you tires by any chance?

If the tires are directional and are asymmetrical are staggered front to rear then no you can't rotate at all. If they are asymmetrical but not directional then you can flip them left to right, or if they are directional but not asymmetrical then you can flip them left to right with remounting.
