Anyone ever 'switch' their tires from side to side?

Anyone ever 'switch' their tires from side to side?
I'm on Tein Basics and SPC camber but I guess last summer I didn't do an alignment and I'm seeing inside-camber on the front wheels and slightly on the back.
I've read some other threads where people unmount their tires and switch it from side to side, since they are directional tires..... falken 452....
Is this a crazy idea or ??
There is still about 40-50% tread and I don't want to buy new tires as of yet just cause of camber wear.....

Toe is another portion of an alignment.
/ \ That's camber if you were looking at the car from behind.
/ \ That's toe if you look at the car from above.
I do pretty much everything myself, but for alignments I have a little shop here to do it as I don't own an alignment machine lol. SG motorsports would be your best bet to get a proper alignment done that is closer to you.

I usually get the alignment at least checked once a year. Also try to flip/rotate my tires every 3-4000kms. Even though my car doesn't have as aggressive a camber as say 4DGS' car, regular rotations help more than one would think. Then again you can only properly rotate tires when all four are the same size. Staggered sizing sort of ****s you up for keeping tires under your car.

I also had my FK452 pulled off the rims and swapped to even out the camber wear. Now I have Invos that are asymmetrical they seem to be cupping in the front after only one season I am going to get them mounted today and i looked at swapping sides even though they are asymmetrical . i dont mind buying rear tires but i like the fronts to last through two sets of rears!!!
