Question Rotating tires

How frequently are you supposed to rotate tires on a TL-S? I have the stock Michelins.

Thanks

Hey, fellow San Franciscan According to Tire Rack, every 3000-5000 miles. I would say 10,000 miles.

I change my oil every 4,000 miles and rotate tires every other oil change, so 8,000 miles. And for anyone that wonders if it is really worth the time and effort to rotate tires, consider this: I put brand new Dunlop SP 5000 Z-rated all-season tires on my '97 Nissan Maxima at 44,000 miles. I've faithfully rotated the tires every 8,000 miles and the car now has 97,000 miles on it. I will need to replace the tires finally at about 105,000 miles. That's over 60,000 miles on *Z-rated* tires.

Conversely, my parents' '96 Mazda 626 needed new front tires to replace the stock H-rated tires on the front after 20,000 miles because they were worn down and never rotated. It is well worth the time and effort to rotate.
