All my car-owning life, I have never questioned that tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles, usually when the oil is changed. Indeed, tire manufacturers' warranties require it.
So I was surprised, today, when a friend told me I'd wasted $27.50 getting my year-old tires rotated. He claimed that since the front tires get much more wear than the back tires, it makes sense to skip tire rotation, and just replace the front tires instead of all four tires at once.
Is there a shred of justification for this approach? (I don't plan to to take his advice, just thought I'd ask).
