Rotating front to rear helps, but side to side does not really do anything, as your directional tire will be backwards (not a huge deal) but the outside edge is still the outside edge, and will continue to take the bulk of the abuse.

Edit: I have mounted a few of the nexen tires, and not really heard that good of reviews, but GRM says they are quick. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/ar...-bfgoodrich-a/
How can you find it HIGHLY unlikely without any evidence or actual experience running the tires? I'm not the only one saying this. And I've driven on 5 different track day tires in the last year. The Nexen's blew me away.
