How to rotate unidirectional tires?
I have Pilot Sport A/S' and on the sidewall it has the word ROTATION with a pointed arrow. Do you rotate these to the direction of the arrow? Does anyone picture what I'm talking 'bout?

That word "rotation" refers to what direction the tire SHOULD be going when you're moving forward. Or to put it simpler, if you're sitting still, and that arrow isn't facing the front of the car, then you've got problems, bro!!

You could cause this guy some confusion. If the arrow is at the top it would be facing backwards while if it is at the bottom it would be facing backwards and vice versa. I know what you mean though.

I know some people who have the tires taken off of the rims so that they can flip the tire over, allowing a side to side rotation. Personally, I don't think it increases the life of the tires enough to offset the extra expense.
When you rotate your tire, you guys notice how the fronts wear ALOT, and the rears wear so little, as if they're on vacation or something? I know that's what's supposed to happen, but I would think that the rears would wear a little. Usually I rotate my tires every other oil change.
