seems the majority of those with a/ts rotate them around 10k, anyone with a m/t tread pattern should rotate every 5k. i know when i had a set of bfgs if you didnt rotate them every 5k they rode like shat.

I rotate/balance every 5,000 miles. Had my original tires warrtied for cracks and the place I got the tires from rotates/balances them for free for the life of the tires. Good enough for me. They said bring it back every 5,000 miles at no charge so I said O.K.

+1, that is the exact same method i use, though i am only at 7000 miles right now. I am another favored Discount Tire customer due to the free lifetime rotation and balance. Only problem is that the nearest Discount Tire is 50 miles away in Corpus Christi, but that is a small price to pay to make these Nitto's last...
