What does that tell you. Your tires will wear out within a year or two no matter how many times you rotate them. Just save the 20 bucks or wahtever you spend on tire rotations every few months and use that to buy some good times when the time comes.
Or you could save $20 and do it yourself....takes about 10 minutes.

Yeah, if you have a F1 pit crew with you (yes, sarcasm). If you don't have a hydrolic jack and or an air wrench it would take you way more than 10 mins to rotate an entire set of wheels by yourself.
