Considering that the tires will age out long before they wear out, I don't rotate my tires.
I recommend to leave the rear tires alone to wear as they do to remain settled into their paired relationship. Disturbing that could place more weight on one tire with more thread, over the other tire with less thread.
The fronts tires are much more forgiving with each other. I personally don't see a benefit to rotate the fronts with each other, but no harm either.
On our old Toyota chassis rig front tires, I flipped them each on their respective wheel. Though we had a good alignment, there was some strange dynamics going on there. More thread on the outside of the front tires made for better cornering in the canyons and mountains. I have not yet seen the same issue with our E350 chassis.
