Thanks for the input. I was thinking 10k was too long. They want first oil change done then too but I didn't want to wait that long. I did the 5 tire on my old one so will probably do it on this one too. These tires being more aggressive I figured sooner is better. Weekend project and it's a hot one out there! 🔥

Default Tire rotation

I do a five tire rotation along with an oil change every 5000 miles. It is super easy to keep track of that way.

Tire rotation is best at 3K with M/T and 5K with A/T. I rotate my M/T tires at Oil change and once between oil changes.

Amen. I plan to keep my Rubicon for a long time so I purchased a lifetime tire rotation and alignment from Sears for about $189.

I take it in every three to four months, worth every penny.

My 2012 sport has 54,000 miles on it and the tires have never been rotated. Every time i ask my mechanic looks and says they are all wearing evenly. I look and the backs, front, left side, right side all look evenly worn. You would figure the front would wear more with the turning.

I rotate every 6,000 miles when I change oil.

Just finished up my stock Sahara tires at 101,000. I always did a 5 tire rotation, drive 75% freeway, and rotated every other oil change.
