    Hopefully they are rotating all day long, hard to make money otherwise.

    Sorry......couldnt resist.

    Im sure there are lots of variables, tire brands , weight ect.....

    I almost always rotate tires based on wear patterns. If they look good, run em'.

    50k, or when you measure a difference in 32's of a inch.

    My last service they were do with 50 since last. But no noticeable difference in tread depth. Ill run another 10k and recheck.

    On drives, we usually rotate them front to back when rear axle is 4/32nds less than front axle.
