Some would say that you should not just move them side to side. Think of rubbing your skin one way then the other over and over. It will create a blister. That said. I worked for a major tire retailer here in the northwest and handled lots of adjustment issues with suppliers. Never was an issue. The benefit if rotating front to back is you may delay tires wearing out due to the inherent geometry of the steering.
My .02 worth is it won't hurt but it won't help. Clear as mud?
