Default Question about rotating wheels

So, my front tires got a lot of tread on them and the rears are getting low. I bought the car like this. The tires will spin soo easy. They are Bfg G force tires. 275's on all four corners. They leave rubber so easy, and theres even rubber on my paint just from the front tires! Could i just put the front wheels on the rear and the rear wheels up front. Cuz right now my rear tires getting really bald and i want to make them last.
Thanks,

Of course you can rotate them, BUT should you. If it is spinning in the back now and you put those thread-less BFG's in the front then they will hydroplane, slip when turning. Nothing like going through a damp turn early in the morning and have the front end plow off the road. Sounds like time for 2 new skins.
