Default Rotate Tires on F-Sport

Obviously we can't rotate from front to back since they're staggered, but does anyone recommened rotating from side to side, since they are not directional tires? Does this prolong the life or is it a waste of time? Thanks,

they are asymmetric? you can do that, but assuming the car has good alignment throughout, rotating the wheels left and right probably won't do that much. on my m3, left and right pretty much wear out the same together

Waste of time. Really don't rotate the tires as it can affect handling overtime and wear tires faster as front and rear alignments are set very aggressive and different.
