I did my last set of Michelins with a complete X rotation and they were perfect all there life.

I plan on doing the Bridgestones the same way.

it's when you upshift and make the tires lose traction for a moment.

It's not always pointless. It gets the revs up. Try doing a quarter mile run without chirping your tires, you will have a slower time.

Front to back, on the same side. I thought you weren't supposed to x rotate

You're not supposed to X rotate when you've got tires with directional tread. Then you just swap front to rear on the same side.
