You can't rotate them, they are different sizes front and rear.

Yes they are directional, ie. they must be mounted in the proper orientation for optimum performance (see arrow on sidewall for proper direction. If looking down on the tire from the top, the pattern would come to a "point" towards the front of the car.
The Z51 Eagle F1 Supercar tires are asymmetric (make sure the sidewall with "mount this side out" is facing out), but not directional.
You wont damage or ruin the tires in anyway if they were mounted incorrectly (backwards), you just would not recieve optimum performance!
