In my decision to forgo tire rotation on my 245 wagon, I rely on the advice of "Click" and "Clack", the car-care experts heard on NPR's CarTalk call-in radio program. You could query them yourself in the CarTalk section of "Cars.com." I believe their advice about tire rotation can be summarized as follows: Any addition to the life of tires gained by rotating them to different positions is lost in the tread consumed while the tires are broken-in to their new positions. This rationale presumes that during their new break-in period(s), the tires (and the car they support) provide reduced, less than optimal, traction. Since regular tire rotation is promoted as a way to maximize the life of tires, the CarTalk advice suggests that considering the true costs will reduce the appeal of any promised gains.
