How often should I rotate my tires. (mk4 gli)

I just put on some hankook tires a month ago and really want them to last.
I was thinking of just rotating them when i change the oil at 5000 miles since I did both at the same time.

Is that a good time to rotate or should I do 3000.

I rotate mine when I put them back on after winter lol. So i leave them alone all season until winter hits and I put on the winter setup

Every 5K is fine.

 

[Pssst...passed you]

20k is normal. I mark mine before storing for winter with chalk then rotate in spring like MIT above.

Rotate whenever you want

The tires should have a recommended rotation rate. The normal I see is 6,000 miles. 5k would be fine, just do them every oil change and be sure to replace any lose front end parts(tie rods, ball joints and wheel bearings) and keep your alignment good. You'll get a ton of life out of the tires.

5k is about average. I usually rotate them every other oil change or so. Usually If I track on em Ill rotate after an event to even em out.

Staggered directional wheel tire setup. Never have to rotate them. Lol.

Im not fond of directional tires. Even if they are summer tires.

Cause really if it's summer and you drive hard, you need some R compounds bahah

Hell no. Maybe if you're a millionaire.
