he probably meant you can't rotate your tires since you have a starggered setup. since the tread pattern is symmetrical, you can still flip them from side to side.

Thanks for the help Calvin.

He mentioned specifically that they cannot be flipped since they're uni-directional. Those were his exact words. Is this true?

they can be flipped, but you need to unmount the tires and remount them on the opposite wheel. you just can't swap the 2 rear wheels together because they are uni-directionals. so he is right, sort of.

Directional tires cannot be flipped. They have to be dismounted and remounted on the opposite sides. To determine if your tires are directional, check to see if they have a little directional arrow on the side walls.
