Tire rotation
When does everyone typically do the first tire rotation? I have a JKUR with 6700 miles and dealer says scheduled is at 10,000. I have the MT tires on it. I always did around 5000 on my 2011 sport.
Just seems like a long time and I usually rotate my own.
Thanks!

I don't put enough miles on mine (too many vehicles) to go by miles. I rotate mine every 6 months when I do an oil change. If I was going by miles, it would be 5K. 10K could be 25% of the life of some tires.

My first set I rotated every 6,000 miles. They lasted about 76,000 miles.
This second set I am rotating every 3,000 miles to see if it makes a difference. They now have about 51,000 miles on them.

I got 67,000 out of my stock Rubi tires doing a 4tire rotation. I could have probably gotten another 10,000 if I had rotated then more frequently. Two were getting closed to slick, the other two had quite a bit of life left in them. Didn't actually get a thread measurement on any of them when removed.
Doing the math, if I had done a 5 tire rotation, I likely would have kept them until around the 80,000 mile mark.

I'd rotate them every 5K or 6 months. I have mine rotated every 6 months when I have the oil change done.
Rotating these aggressive tires often makes a world of difference in even wear and getting more miles out of them.
10K miles is too long.
