Tire rotation is one of those good ideas that I never get around to. I think the set on my Blazer must be about 6 years old now and might have been rotated once in that time. Still looking and driving good.(quoted from post at 07:16:37 03/17/19) I know I am!! Maybe once a year, some vehicles I do not put to much mileage on. I miss the 5000 miles or what ever it is these days. So wondering what you guys do?
Every time I change the oil. I have a lift in my barn, so it's no big deal to pull the tires off while the oil is draining. Gives me a chance to look over the brakes, suspension, etc. You'd be surprised how often you catch a heat shield or something else working loose under there. Also a good time to check for leaks.(quoted from post at 15:16:37 03/17/19) I know I am!! Maybe once a year, some vehicles I do not put to much mileage on.

(quoted from post at 18:31:59 03/17/19) On our last Subaru the original tires only lasted 26,000, the tire dealer said lack of rotation contributed to their short life. I will rotate the tires on the new car as recommended.
(quoted from post at 11:31:41 03/17/19) Cupping and slabbing happen to any tire that is not routinely rotated. For those of you who think its not necessary we will hear you coming down the highway....whapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhapwhap !
(quoted from post at 15:24:04 03/17/19) > Automatic regular rotation of tires on and AWD vehicle is NOT a good idea because you will end up having one pair go 5,000 miles less than the other, so you have to discard a pair that have still 10,000 more miles in them.
I'm afraid I don't understand why that should be the case. Please explain.
(quoted from post at 18:01:10 03/18/19) How would you rotate them when you run all season on front of a 2 wheel drive pickup with a good mud tire on rear? And to put matching mud tires on front they do not have the control-stopping power of the all season tire.
(quoted from post at 10:52:15 03/19/19) Check your owners manual, or if you can't read ask your dealer. As long as vehicle is properly aligned the modern tires do not need to be rotate near as often as they used to.

An All Season Tire is in no way a winter tire .
