I don't think you can even do that. The tires are asymmetric. At least the bridgestones are on the 19" wheels.

like it was said... you cant... up front the tires are 235 and the rears are 245... and the tires are unidirectional too... you have to take off the tires from the wheels to rotate from one side to the other

I believe the fronts are 225 stock and not 235

If you unmount and remount you can rotate them side to side. Probably not worth it. I am not sure what you would gain. Front to back rotation, when you can do it, is where you gain the most.

What you would gain is less tire wear. The coupe is known for inside edge wear. If you dismount/remount you would move the inside to the outside & get more life from the tires.

I've done the left/right remount rotation on the front tires, currently at 20k miles on the car and probably going to get another 10k out of the fronts.

For some reason I had to buy new rear tires at 17k miles

That's right. Only a side to side swap is possible, but to keep the rotation the same, the tires must be dismounted and re-installed with the inside to the outside.
