you could go front to back... but that would look a bit odd

you cant go from side to side because the tread is directional

The tires are directional and would be going in the wrong direction if you switched them from side to side. Plus the tire pressure sensors are programmed at their current locations. If you switch their locations you would have to retrain each sensor for its new location.
