How often do you rotate your tires?
Just wondering, how often do you (or did you) guys rotate your stock Advans? I rotated mine at about 5k miles. I just past 10,300 miles and I am about to rotate them again. I actually just remembered that I was supposed to rotate them. Any opinions on this subject? Keep it real.

I have always heard people and shops recommend every other oil change (6000 miles) or 6 months.

ive always heard and i think the manual says every oil change. i think it says it in the list of stuff to be done on each mile interval or something. I do mine every five (when i get my oil changed).

I've heard every 3,000 miles but I just can't see myself doing that. I'm going with every 6,000 miles.

mitsubishi recommends rotation with every 5K mile oil change. I do mine every 2.5K to help extend the tire life a little bit longer.

6 is logical, I can't see doing it every oil change!

Every Oil change, It doesn't matter though. The Stupid Negative camber Screws the tires anyway .

3K oil changes????
Sounds like most change your oil every 3K????

Wow...

Unless you're tracking the car regularly, that's just insane...

5K is fine, probably overkill...
