My apologies, Eric. It has been a long day.

The OEM tires are asymmetrical just as my summer tires are. Thanks for calling me on that before I misinformed others.
If they were directional it would never be recommended to rotate them and reverse the tread due to hydroplaning concerns. If you never drove the car in rain, or were tracking it for example, that would be a situation where you could safely do that, but only then.
Since they are asymmetrical, you can rotate them side to side anytime you like.

Sorry again about any confusion.

Gill
