Sport Tire Rotation?

They are directional (the stock RE050A's), so you're not supposed to rotate them side to side. On the other hand, the only fallout is that the tread pattern is backwards from what the mfg decided was optimal. Perhaps if this doesn't matter to you, then it's fine

Now, I have to go look as I could have sworn they weren't directional. If directional then no rotation (other than front to rear vice-a-versa, if the wheels weren't staggered).
