Now, how about the rotation mentioned. I do not plan on setting any land speed records so I doubt the air flow to the brakes is a problem. This morning I spent an hour taking impressions of the tread (hey I'm a Dentist we take impressions of stuff) on the tires and then reversing them front to back and side to side and they seem to fit...granted I have only 1700 miles.

With that said I see no real tread design dictates for/against rotation. What have others found out (I too heard the old wives tale about not reversing the radial tires due to the wires or something).
There is no problem moving the tires to any location on the vehicle. Here is a link to a web site that gives suggestions on rotation patterns.
