Do you rotate

If they weren't staggered sizes it would be front to rear but we all should have different size tires on the rears and different rim widths. So can't do F to R . It's no problem to do L to R as long as they are not directional. This would even out the wear due to caster/camber/toe differences.

Yes, rotate 'em
Jagtoes...
Yes, I rotate side to side (I've got the Michelin A/S, 19", 2010 XK).
Not front to back!
Why - although I see no unusual wear, it gets me to check brakes et al that one can only see if the tires are removed. And, perhaps minimize any unforeseen tire wear.
Unlike some, I really like these tires. Car came with run-flat Dunlops, replaced with these.
Best,

I have not done it yet on the Jag but I did swap rear tires left/right on my previous BMW. It also had staggered setup non-directional tires. I had to as the drive side (passenger rear tire) wore significantly faster than the left side. Swapping them evened out the wear.
I will keep an eye on the Jag and see if it does the same, the minute I notice higher wear I will swap the rears, an easy task as mine are non-directional.
And like Sean mentioned, directional tires can be swapped but they have to be dismounted.
