Default 2007 Rubicon BFG Mud Terrain Tires

The Maintenance Schedule says to rotate every 6000 miles or every other oil change. Karina Barajas at Temecula Jeep said to do it every oil change which is every 3000 miles. Which is correct?

I'm not sure which is correct, but I do mine every 6,000 miles. I would go by the Maintenance schedule.

I personally do it every 3,000 just to make sure they last as long as possible. So far they are wearing great. I have almost 13,000 on them so far and have well over 3/4 of the tread left.

Every 3k. They seem to wear better.

BTW: go with the 5 tire rotation. Plenty of talk here for and against it. Stay tuned.

Yeah, M/Ts can be more prone to uneven wear, so I would go with the 3K rotation schedule (and 5-6K for the oil changes)

General rule is every other oil change or 6K miles, but it depends on how you drive and how much you take it off road. If you're airing down quite a bit to tackle trails, I'd probably rotate every 3K. If you're doing mostly city driving, every 6K should be fine

Not to mention the oil change indicator goes off around 3k.
