I am rotating mine every 5k miles. But only because the shop will rotate them for free every 5k miles. I have them rotate in the spare also.

I'm rotating mine every other oil change. Which comes out to about every 6-7000 miles. I do my own rotations with the spare in the mix.

I rotate my tires every oil change and I do a five tire rotation, so I get the longest wear out of my tires.

X2 on rotating with every oil change. Siping the tires also provides more traction and longer tread life.
