I just had mine rotated a couple months ago. My left front outer edge had worn a bit from taking the entrance ramp near my office too aggressively all last summer.

Rotating wheels between axles Different wear patterns can occur on the front and rear axles depending on individual driving conditions. The tires can be rotated in pairs be‐ tween the axles to achieve even wear. Further information is available from a dealer’s service center or another qualified service center or re‐ pair shop. After rotating, check the tire pressure and correct, if needed.

Since this is in the owners manual I'd have to disagree with your statement:

Maybe if I paid them they would have. The service was free.
BINGO .... if they say rotation is required then it would fall under the pre-paid maint'
and since tire rotation is recommended more frequently than oil changes (their model)
they'd be seeing you more often for pre-paid service
MINI has been on and off with the rotation question since 2002 . . .
**** buy a jack and a speed wrench ..... rotate your tires in 30 minutes with a drink break included

Tire type absolutely affects ride quality. 100%
Lots of more comfortable tires out there.
I fun Michelin PSS tires on my S4 which has 20 inch rims. Rubber band thin. The ride is more comfortable with those than my 18's snow tires!
I'm not a fan of run flats either - heavy and harsh - they've gotten better over the years but I'll go non run flats once these are done. We have 19's for snow tires as well and they are non run flats - much lighter and more comfortable.
