tire rotation

How often do you rotate your tires in you car/truck/bike?

Is once a year good enough?  I think what shops/manufactures recommend sound like the 3000 mile/oil change bs.

Thoughts?

The tires on my Magna get "rotated" every time I ride it 

Seriously though ... I rotate the tires on my cars roughly every six months or 6,000 miles.

Discount Tire will do car/truck tire rotation for free, even if you aren't a current customer.  Of course, you are likely to have to wait.  But if you can catch them at a slow time, it's quick and easy, and the best price.

I usually put less than 10k per year on my pickup so I don't worry about rotating them too much.  If it occurs to me somewhere in the middle of their lifespan they may get rotated once.

Ditto for me.

I have never rotated the tires on my 2002 Silverado.  The tires seem to wear evenly, so what is the point?

Thanks.

I heard about the discount tire gig but they are not close to me.

I just paid to get the tires rotated on my parents little suv.  Its been about 3 years since they were put on so I felt it was justified.  After getting them rotated, nothing looked or felt different ha.  It cost me $20.00.

Next comes the other little suv. 

I don't think I'll do it with the pickup truck because I also don't drive it very much. 

I mostly just wash/wax/haul (with a tiny bit of light offroading in there).  I like to keep it looking all nice waiting in the garage, and just drive the beater around town .
