About this tire rotation thing, I have always wondered if it is worth
it. We have the tires rotated at every service [wife's car] which is 5k
and it is $20. So if I get 80k [yea right] out of these tires it will
have cost me $320 in rotation fees. I keep thinking that this is a rip
off as four new tires are $400 and there must be a more optimum $ to
mile rotation interval. But then if you do not do the recommended
rotation and have a tire problem it is your problem... Use to be I
rotated cars at a shorter interval than I now rotate tires... Jim
