| The dealer always wants us to rotate the tires, but how often do we really need to rotate them? Is once per year ok? That would be about every 10k miles. |

| It’s in the ma yak. Toyota recommends every 5k miles. Just follow your manuals maintanence schedule. |

Ma yak = manual
If you don’t rotate enough you get uneven wear that will ruin the tires. |

| Every 5-6k is a good rule of thumb. |

| Unless you drive until there is no more thread left, every 10k is more than enough |

This is not great advice. You can get away with it but expect more wear on the front tires if you have FWD. this is why some people have to replace just two of their car tires. They don’t rotate like they should. If you have 4WD, AWD, or traction control you should be very careful to read the manual for tire rotation. |

| When you purchase new tires, ask them. Geez. |

| I get mine rotated every year when I go to Jiffy Lube for the annual oil change. My car is AWD, so it seem smart to just get it done then. NBD. |

Tires last 25-40k miles, so that's a long time to wait to get an answer. |

| I get them done every time I get the car serviced - which is every 7500 miles. |

| Every oil change. |

I rotate mine on a similar schedule and yet the driver's side tire consistently wears down very quickly. Any advice? |

25-40? You must have a high performance car with soft rubbers. I drive at least 50 or more - close to 60k |

Have the shop check your alignment and your tires balance. |
