FWIW all 2003+ cars should not require the 4-at-a-time tire replacement. The electronically controlled center differenctial (HALDEX or DEM or something similar) takes care of more of the problem.

4 tires is always preferred to 2, and always have your best 2 on the back wheels (unless you have an early AWD with a Viscous Coupler which requires the 2 'largest' tires - which would normally be the 2 in the newest condition - to be on the front axle if you can't manage 4 tires. Even that is a bit risky.)

As far as tire rotation goes, the conventional wisdom is that AWD cars need to rotate the front tires to the rear, and the rear tires to the front and cross to the opposite side. AFAIK Volvo now recommends against this, rotating only front to back and vice-versa. This is esp true for directional tires which cannot be run in the 'wrong' direction.
