the word used to be with radial tires that once they were worn in in one direction, the tire 'set' and when reversed the wear became extreme - which is why they recommended front to back rotation vs the old cross rotation (front left to right rear and front right to rear left)

I get the impression that you would need to remount the tires to cross rotate - this could be very confusing if not careful
