I always rotate the tires at 5,000 MILES (I don't know what that is in km). It is a good time to inspect the brakes also.

Get yourself a tread depth gauge.
Try and keep the tires within 1/32 of each other.
The rear will wear down quicker, when they are 1/32 less than the front… rotate…

brake services are important as well. I do mine quite often because I offered my truck.. if you don’t off road, once in the spring and once in the fall is a good idea..

Hey Jerome,

Rotate your tires at every oil change (every 10,000 km as per the Owner’s Manual). If your dealer is doing your oil change, inquire about ”The Works”, which includes the rotation.

If you do your own service, rotate front tires to the opposite side rear location and bring rears to the front location on the same side.

You are excused from not knowing miles-kms conversion. Certain other branches of service are not. ?

Don't over think it, rotate every oil change. It has served me well, getting even mileage out of all tires. This could be a pain if you change your own oil. But I would definitely not go over 7500mi between rotation.

Some folks say “No” and back it up with their experiences. My dealer says “Yes” and does it as part of “The Works”. ?‍♂

you can always check by lowering the pressure by two or three pounds in one tire and seeing if it shows up in the proper location on your instrument cluster.

I've done mine twice now, no (reprogramming) required. I had a slow leaker at passenger rear, it indicated the same at it's new location.

I’m pretty sure you need to do a relearn from my experience. The tires are programmed to their location. You can buy a cheap tpms learn tool on Amazon. Mine was $20. I also have 2 sets of tires so that mostly why I bought it
