To your third question though... I have a wheel set with snow tires for winter here in the MidWest. Small price to pay for enjoying high-performance rubber 9 months of the year.

Asymmetrical means that you have an "inside" and an "outside". They can rotate either way.

I included that link to TireRack.com because it does state that the tire is asymmetrical... regardless of the spelling.

You can dismount the tire and move to the other side. Which is actually better anyway. If the inside or outside is wearing and you simply remove wheel and bolt it on the other side, unless your alignment is way off on the other side you'll get a similar wear pattern. Therefore it's almost not worth rotating unless you dismount and put the dirty side of the tire "out" on the other side. That will cost you about $100 each time though.

"Tire rotation (18-inch tire models)
Tires cannot be rotated on this vehicle, as front tires are a different size from rear tires and the direction of the wheel rotation is fixed for each tire."
