Everyone keeping up with tire rotation?

Just curious to see how many members are keeping up with tire rotation.

I just rotated mine this weekend. I do it every other oil change.

You guys keeping track of your tire preasure too?

I check once a week. (32psi)

HAHA!!! ive missed you!
welcome back btw

and yeah tire rotation is important.

not to mention another good reason to do it is if you drive in any way agressively, tire rotation will help mask that from your dealerships mind.

trust me, if they see 4/32s in the front and 8/32's in the back.....they will notice, and assume your very hard on the car.

I rotated mine every 3k, and got 38k miles out of them as well as 35+ passes at the drag strip. They now are down to 2/32"-3/32". They will be replaced when she comes out of hibernation in a few months.

Im getting mine rotated this weekend. I dont put winter tires on mine so that is a must. I have the Kumho Ecsta SPT's. 300 tread wear rating as opposed to 110 on the pirelli's or whatever it is so they wear better but I would suggest every 3-4k mi on summer tires.

i rotate every other oil change so about every 5,000 miles i rotate. I check the pressure regularly and check the alignment every couple months. This is why i have over 10,000 miles on my stock tires and they are all wearing perfectly and have 8-9/32" of tread on them. For all those who cook these tires before 20,000 miles, its not the tires that wear fast, its the way you drive them.

That's crazy. I have 22,000 miles on stock tires and they have a bunch of tread left.

I'm dead serious, I can take a pic at lunch.

Very interesting.
