BMW for years said not to rotate given how a wheel will "mate" with its hub over time; which they believed was more important than ultimately managing the tire wear; this for superior ride.

I've never rotated the tires and although the fronts have seen a bit more wear, if/when I will buy, I buy a complete set every time.


: I know... another survey... 2 questions:
: 1. Do you rotate tires? If so, how often?
: 2. Any info on using the Hunter GSP 9700 to balance your tires?... I'd heard it was THE WAY... then when I paid big bucks to use one, it seemed like every other balancer out there.
