About rotating directional tires
Should you swap the fronts to the rear and vice versa?
About how often (if yes)?
Thanks I probably shouldn't have to ask this...

I just had the local Goodyear place put Aquatred-3 tires on my wife's CR-V yesterday, and I got a lecture about having them rotated frequently (front to rear since they are also uni-directional). He basically suggested that the should be rotated at every oil change, but of course he's thinking that will be 3-5k miles. In a couple days, when (if) I get my car put back together, I have a set of 245/45/16 S-03's for them to install on my R1. I expect the same lecture.
As far as the interval, I don't think it really has to be that often for most tires. You're only doing this to even out treadwear, right? If I expect the tires to last 40k miles (I don't BTW), then why not just rotate them every 10k or 20k? I guess it's just a matter of how even you want to keep the tread.
Cheers,
