Subject:Re: Stratagies to remember when to rotate tires

Years ago, after going through a set of tires in 24K miles (Firestone, but
who's naming names?) =8^O, I was told that I needed to rotate my tires much
more frequently. Ever since then, I have them rotated every other oil
change. It seemed crazy at the time, but since then, I usually get 60-80K
on a set of tires.
