I "rotated" my tires every 1500 miles or so on the last set. I knock the rubber off and move it to the other side. This set is Sumitomo rubber, which is so stinking cheap I won't bother.
But if I buy Michelins or some expensive tire next time around, I'll be back to the odd looks at Discount Tire when I tell them to unmount and remount my tires on the other side.
The guy doing the work always laughs, then says, "Hey, that's smart! I guess you can rotate directional tires if you want to pay $80 to do it."
At $225 each for 17's, I think it's worth it to do it at least a couple of times.
The trick is not to let the tires wear too much before you do it.
You 987 owners with those $350 19's should consider doing this sooner than later.
