rotating dunlops?
the tire tred haves a one way direction, so how do you rotate them by taking them off the rim

Front to back on the same side. I have been doing this with OEM Yokos every 5k miles and still have a reasonable amount of thread (passed state inspection) after 20k miles of use

If directional front/back same side, or, you can dismount the tires from the wheels and remount them on the opposite side.

If you are running a wide high performance tire with large tread blocks and it is raining hard, it is time to get off of the road. With that in mind, what direction the tires are mounted is not important.
