Rotate Michelin PS4?
It doesn't appear to me (or a quick Google search) that these tires are directional. Can anyone confirm that? Anyone swap the left and right tires occasionally to 'rotate' them?

Even unidirectional tires can be rotated as long as there is no rain.
I used to run 1/2 day at MSR Cresson and then flip the tires side to side to even out the wear. I did not bother to flip the tires back until after I got home (180 miles).

Yep as with the C7 that said OUTSIDE they can be swapped side to side. That means they are asymmetrical with the outside and inside tread different (usually width and can be tread compound and side wall reinforcement.
There are tires that are asymmetrical and directional. They usually also have an arrow AND some say Left or Right and Outside as they can only be used on that side of the car. Have had those and they cannot be swapped side to side.
Page 260 of the Owner's Manual states:
Tire Rotation The tires should be rotated every 12 000 km (7,500 mi).
