How do you rotate the tires?? With low annual mileage, do we need to? What do you do? |

Most tire manufacturers recommend 6~8k miles. If the tire shop says 3k, I think they're just trying to rip people off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
The issue about only rotating front-to-back with radials came about because of the crown and camber (or slope) on most roadways. Tires adapt and wear with the angle of the slope towards the shoulder.  https://ridermagazine.com/2018/04/30/how-cr...cycle-handling/ The radial belts inside the tires stretch and conform to the slope angle, and moving the tire(s) to the other side would reverse the stretching, causing tread separation from the sidewall. It's happened to me before, with tires that still had plenty of tread left. |
