No Matt, if you rotate the wheel, you change the direction of rotation. If you have directional tires,
you change the flow of the tread. Originally, you had to keep radial tires going the same way.
That is no longer true. Directional tires are still built to rotate one way.

Edit: think about it.. does that mean if you cross the tires then you'll see the back of the wheel instead of the front?
