i never thought about doing that. you think it makes a difference everytime you rotate them that often?

It helps me remember, and my wear is very even.

every oil change is what I do. You can't rotate your tires to much. Even wear = longer life.

Every 3k or so miles as well. It does make a difference, especially with the rubber I've got on right now. My A/S was rotated for free by my Honda dealer (along with oil changes) and those looked like there was no wear at all!

I'd do it as often as you think you need it. Tires are expensive, and would rather have my 140 treadwear tires last a bit longer than it should.

I got only 10k and my summer tires are shot. So I'm installing new ones today. I run the twisties in the mnts every weekend though.
