Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that directional tires should not be cross rotated in the traditional sense but should be rotated front to rear to maintain the direction of the tread pattern. Technician B's method of dismounting, flipping, and remounting the tires also respects the directional nature of the tires while effectively cross rotating them.
