Default Lexus is 500 directional tires?

Can the tires for the Lexus is 500 be rotated? I've read that directional tires can not be rotated but I'm unsure if the IS 500 has them.

They are staggered so front to rear rotation is not possible. Side to side would offer no benefit that I could see if possible. Given the highly average performance of these tires I would say burn them out and replace them eventually. Many of us are looking at Michelin PS4S tires or the P4AS if we need/want an all season tire.

only option, I believe, for staggered directional tires is to have the tires remounted to opposite sides.

I honestly feel like there's not a great case for rotating side-to-side anyway. tl;dr, no, you can't rotate them unless you do a custom square setup.
