And considering it COSTS money to have your tires rotated, and simply side to side does almost nothing, seems like its pretty much a wash. any 'money' you'd theoretically save by getting that marginal additional amount of mileage on your tires, you'd waste on having them rotated.

you dont have to remove the tires off the wheels as these are asymetric tires (RE050A). just swap left/right.
