    Rotational tires are usually have a performance tread that is designed to rotate in one direction only. Look for an obvious arrow next to the word "rotation" in the sidewall.
    The GPs are long gone...

    actually called "directional" tires as in they only go one direction, like Asymetrical tires that have one side ment to face out. Your problem is you crossed your tires and you have a shake in a tire/wheel. Thats it, no questions asked. I've done this for 7 years and see it everyday. A proper automotive rotate with non directional tires is front to rear, rears swapped sides to front. Shops put a bad balanced or bent wheel assembly on the r/r of your car so when you leave the shop you can't feel it. Once you rotate that one ends up on the l/f and you feel it. Swap those 2 back and it will more then likely be gone or spend the $15, go to a shop and have them balanced
