You should be buying food and rotating tyres as a natural response to
life in general. Both are necessary.

Not everyone recommends rotation. It's not even possible on some
vehicles. Just replace them in pairs as they wear out. I've personally
never rotated my tires on any car, but that's admittedly just my
choice. In fact, on the car we're talking about, the feathered tires
are probably noisy anyway, so she'd just be moving the noise to the
back, where it might be even worse.

Recommendation on the 4runner is front to back only I move mine from
front to back every time I switch seasinal tires on both of my
vehicles.

Indeed. Some tyres do not like their rotation direction reversed so
switching front with rear on the same side is the norm there. Some
manufacturers specify a diagonal swap. As always, manufacturers advice
is best followed.

But do you follow the tire manufacturer's instructions or the
vehicle?
You can NOT go wrong doing a 4 way front to back only rotation.
