Since they are uni-directional you have to remove the tires - so, not a typical rotate per se.

If you rotate your tires around every 6K you'll get more even wear and extend the life of the tires. I don't like it when the outsides are all worn down but the rest of the tire is still good.
I know exactly what you meant...Radial Tire suggested I "flip the tires" too, but several here told me it's not good for the integrity and life of the tire.
