Bad idea. A rear tire flat at high speed is most likely a minor annoyance,
and not very dangerous, because the front tire will still control the
direction of the bike and keep you upright. A front tire flat at high speed
is likely to result in a crash at high speed, which is more of a major
my normal mode is replace rears as needed, and on one bike I get triple+
miles from the front. The one time I have "rotated" the tire was when I
had a front cut, ended up moving the rear tire forward (still rolling on

Rotate your tires, you should get less wear on the front than the rear and can
possibly prolong the life of the tire. Good to do this semi regularly so you
don't end up with one tire much more worn than the other

Rear tire on Bleriot. Tread bald down center for a while now. Front tire
still has plenty of tread.
I inspect the tire every few rides.
