Tire Rotation

First car I've had with different size tires front and back. Obviously no rotation front to back but should you still rotate left to right?

That would depend on the tire. If the tire is only directional, you can swap left to right. If the tire has a “this side facing out” requirement, then you can’t swap.

I disagree with the posting that said if your tire says this side facing out you cannot rotate.Yes you can. However if the tire is directional (one way ROTATION indicated usually with an arrow indicating only ROTATION direction tire can rotate) you can rotate left to right etc. but you need to remount the tire on the rim to ensure the correct direction of rotation.
