I never turn them if there are no grooves on the surface.

You shold turn the rotors but go to a shop not a parts store. Unless your front are haveing issues then just run them as is tell you need new brakes.

If you put new pads in with grooved rotors, you will need to replace the pads again if you turn or replace the rotors.

i havent turned the rears on either of my trucks when i put pads on because its a solid rotor (non vented) so it doesnt really warp. Just make sure the rotor isnt heavily grooved.
