IMHO.....
Rotation should be done front to rear without crossing. Reasons for this are as follows.
1. Many tires today are designed to function best when they are rotating in a specific direction and are so marked.
2. Tires do develop a set based upon the direction of rotation. Crossing tires may reduce handling quality and accelerate wear.
3. Many roads are crowned which results in different wear patterns on the left versus the right side of the car. Rotating front to rear without crossing takes advantage of the difference in wear from one side of the car to the other.
