How often do you rotate tires?

[MrsLauraE]

My apologies if this has already been discussed...

But, how often do you rotate tires? Didn't see anything about it in the "passport to servce" manual.

I have a 2006 LR3 with Continential Cross Contact tires. Just over 33K miles. I bought the car used, so I don't know if these are the original tires, but I want to take care of them the best I can.

Also just bought a full-size spare, so should I throw that into the rotation?

Thanks for your help!

I rotate every 5K miles. Makes it easier to remember. Fortunate to have a local tire shop which provides free rotations.

At delivery, the vehicle came with limited tire warranty paperwork from Goodyear, which specified rotations every 6K miles, for reference. As noted, this won't be in the LR3 owners manual as LR does not warrant the tires directly.

ditto every 5k and local shop for free.

for my general AT2 - with every oil change (occasionally every other).

Every 5 to 7,000 miles and check the air pressure every other month, especially in the winter months.

Man, you must have little tires...mine rotate every 7'10"

So I should be rotating my tires 6 times a year? That's crazy.

If you rotate your tires with every oil change, and time that to your Service Interval light you can't go wrong.
