Both the base an the sport have a staggered setup, you cannot rotate the tires. On RWD cars typically the rears wear out faster on street driving and the fronts wear out faster on track.

Heel & toe refers to the technique of braking for a corner while down shifting to ensure that you are in the target gear for the corner and saves clutch wear and heat because you are synchronizing the gear box with the engine.
You obviously don't need to heel & toe if you are just simply down shifting.
