depends a bit on wear patterns...

really what you're saying is it is safest to keep the average wear on your tires as low as possible... which is also achievable by rotating tires regularly + reselling all 4 as soon as they drop a mm or 2...
On the c900 the front outside edge of the front tires wears faster than anything else... so swapping front to back + flipping over the rims periodically extends useful tire life.
I haven't had a 9-5 long enough, but they seem to eat the insides of tires, at least if the alignment is not quite right...
too bad 9-5 wheels don't fit on the c900! could swap back and forth to even tire wear ;-)...
I do agree that rotation is mostly about economy, but severe asymmetric wear can compromise safety, *usually* only at the end of the tire's useful life anyway...
