Chapter 7 Maintanence in owner's manual said:

Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI recommends that the tires be rotated every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) or sooner if irregular wear develops.
I've visited workshop and they said me that this process is a bit complicated due to tires have rotation direction. It means tire has to be swapped (not wheels). As it might damage pressure sensor and sensors must be reprogrammed at the end they gave me estimate cost around 200-250 euros.

Does anybody done that? Overall completely new tire set might be much cheaper let say in comparison with two times tire rotations.

Tyre rotation simply means taking the front wheel (including tyre) and swapping it with the rear wheel on the same side of the car. You then have to do the same on the other side.
I know that everything is easy if you just swap front and rear wheels on the same side. But according to owner's manual you have to swap left-right wheels across. Exactly this thing makes it more complicated as due to rotation direction you have to swap tires.
