I'm not reccomending this.... but....
this is just how I do my rotating with all of my tires;
"IF" a guy were to just never rotate his tires, the front tires would almost always be worn out (especially on the corners from turning) considerably sooner than the rears.
So, I've become really good at knowing when the fronts are down to like 20%, and the rears are still about 40%. At that point, I do "the only rotating those tires will ever see".
Now, those front 40%'ers will be down to zero, at just about the same time as those rear 20%'ers, at which point, I've gotten full use out of each tire in that set, and it's time to get some new tires.
I know a lot of guys rotate a lot more often then I do..... but unless somebody can give me some solid, understandable reasons why I should do this, my method has worked for me, with all kinds of tires, on all kinds of vehicles, for years.
Hmmmm....

I do all my own oil changes, (I work at a garage) so it's easy to do it then; while it's on the lift. I also change my oil way too much, but labor's is free and i get bored on Sat. afternoons...
So, about 3,000mi, 3 months , or whenever i get bored.
i think Hank Hill said that one time...
