Consensus has always been to balance but not rotate. I would if I was getting uneven wear and wanted to spread over both tires (front to back, back to front). Also depends on what kind of tires they are.

No need to rotate them - it wouldn't serve any purpose.
Steering, driven and free-rolling tires all develop different wear patterns. By rotating from one position to the other, one wear pattern is erased as the other developes. It also increases tire wear/decreases tire life because the tires work so hard to erase the old wear patterns.
In the last 25 years, I have only rotated the tires on my cars once - because I had a belt break on one steering tire and the bouncing it did until I got it replaced caused a horrible pattern to develop on the opposite tire and it bounced after the first was replaced. I rotated it to the back.
