Rotating staggered wheels

If they are staggered then you can’t rotate front to back.
If your tires are not directional then you can rotate side to side.
If they are directional tires then you can’t rotate them at all without unmounting and remounting the tires the other way on the wheel and swapping the wheels side to side.

Tires do not need to be rotated side to side if it has proper wheel alignment. FWD or front biased AWD cars will wear out the front tires faster while RWD cars will wear out the rear tires first.
MYPs will wear out the rear first, and if you drive like 100 year old grandma/grandpa, you will get decent mileage out of it. =)

MY MYP came with Pzeros which appear to not be directional. so theoretically you could rotate right to left. But I'd be more concerned why one side has more wear than the other.

If your wheels are not rotating when you drive... Yeah, that's a problem. 
The only time I had to rotate staggered tires side to side, was when I had a car that had aggressive camber from the factory. Even then, that only worked if you had tires that allowed you to dismount, flip, and remount... Otherwise swapping side to side won't do anything to address wear from an aggressive camber.
