i would usually recommend approx 6000 miles between tire rotations, however, if at 6000 miles you cannot tell a difference in the tires, then i might be persuaded to run a 12000 mile interval... remember, rotation of your tires is to help your tires last longer...

Tyre rotation allows for uniform wear of all four tyres... which simply means all four tyres wear out at about the same time. This does not equal longer tread life overall. |

It's really not necessary to rotate more than every 10,000 miles even though many shops recommend 5,000. That's just overkill.

 First off, I've seen this isn't true from personal experience. Tamago is correct with it having to do a LOT with alignment set up. But with the stock setup, generally the front tires will wear more on one side than on the other. As this wear increases, the rate of wear increases because the uneven tire will take more force(damage) on the side its now leaning towards - also, the tire is engineered to have a flat contact patch. Rotating these tires to the back tends to flatten them out creating an even contact patch, slowing the overall wear. And +1 about free rotation and balancing at discount tire. BOTH of which will increase your tire life. Throw in road hazard and its a no brainer. |

Town Fair Tire (Northeast tire chain) does free rotations every 5,000 miles for life with any 4 tire purchase.
They also do: Free front alignment, Free mounting, balancing, Free tire repair for life, and guaranteed lowest price with any set of tires Very hard to beat. |
