Front tires cannot be rotated?

I guess you technically 'could' rotate them (by 'rotate' I assume you mean move the RF to LF position and vice-versa). but the tires are typically unidirectional and at least the factory turbo twist spoke pattern will be reversed if you switch sides.
Depending on your specific wheel/tire combo the above may or may not apply to you.

) but just take a look at them, the spoke pattern will be 'backwards' compared to the pattern on the rear wheel...unless you rotate the rear wheels also. Bigger issue is that unless you're racing NASCAR style with only left turns wearing down one side it's probably just a waste of time to bother with rotating them. ymmv.
