Default ? sideways swap tires at 8K miles?

I know I cant really 'rotate'. Should I swap side-side f's and r's? I have 8K miles now, parked for the winter. Assume to get S2000 out March or April, assume 8K more miles next year. I figure after 16K, they are toast. I may get 18 inch volks and new tires then. Point is, I want 16k miles total on stocks. Is swapping side to side necessary? recommended? waste of time/money?
Thanks - Mike

It's not a bad idea at all. The rears seem more of a concern depending on how your are wearing. Much better to do it now than find out you are SOL latter on.

Mind you it's a bit of a hassle having the tires un-mounted - re-mounted, but not that bad.

Destiny - I wonder if I don't see you around Hershey every now and then. Probably 3 or 4 times last summer. Don't see too many S2000s around, just one yellow, rarely another suzuka, and a silver (who I work with, actually).
