    You must want new tires:D The tire dealerships told me to rotate every 5 thousand so I just have it done when I get the oil change.

    You're replacing your tires in December?

    The current tires you have on - are you going to sell them? Or are they going in the trash?

    If you're gonna sell the current tires - I'd rotate them.
    If you're gonna trash 'em - don't bother to rotate them.

    If you’re keeping them and the 1st time I'd say you'll benefit from doing so. I try every 5 to 8K.

    Not trying to rob this thread but on my first balance and rotate I had 'em put black wall out as well. About a week after, one was pretty much flat one morning. Aired it up and it hasn't lost any air since???

    That is the weird part as the truck was in the garage when it happened and the wife noticed about the same time I did. Figure the new wheel weights and just wrong parking for tire position and it hopefully won't happen again??? Michelin LTX A/T2 in 265/75/16 when replacement time comes.
