rotating tires....

how often do u guys rotate your tires.

also for you guys that have differnt size widths in the front and back how do u rotate them? i mean u can just switch the wheels from the front to the rear and u cant switch the left and right sides because the tread on the tire will be facing the wrong way (if they are directional)

Mazdaspeed00, i basically rotate my tires everytime i change oil. Soon though, i'll be getting the Racing Hart C2's with different sizes.

What do you do if your running 9.5 up front, and 10.5 in the rears? just get alignments and/or change the tires every few thousand miles? I was always curious about that.

I don't rotate mine. Can't afford 4 tires at a time. U can't rotate when running different widths in front and back and u also don't cross rotate radial tires. Changing direction of rotation will cause tread to separate. If u or anyone u know that has ever run used tires as I have in the past, they will come apart.
