What I do, unmount and flip and remount, then put on the opposite side, so on the directional tires, what was in the inside is now in the outside.
but can not do on the continental dws they have a in and out instead of direction.

if you buy and install the tires at at shop that offers lifetime rotations with purchase, tell them, to rotate they have to unmount and flip and remount and balance, I would do evan if they where not directional tires with the high camber.

I have michelins 285, but also 19x11.5 rear wheels, do not use a 285 runflat on stock rims, they are not wide enough and will have problems seating.
if on stock rims heck ratings on tire to see if you can run a 9" wide wheel.
