Directional tire question

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this , but hopefully someone who is in the know about tires can help me out. I've been running a set of directional tires for 40,000km and they have developed an uneven wear pattern due to lack of cross rotation. Not only are the noisy and rough now, I can't help but think that RR must be higher also due to the uneven wear. Other than looking odd, I'm wondering if there is any reason why I couldn't run the rear tires backwards to even out the wear since they aren't drive tires.
