Default Rotation?

How often do you rotate your tires? Does it matter if they are directional tires?

Does it matter if they are aftermarket rims, new suspension and performance tires?

Default RE: Rotation?

I worked in a tire shop, the way to do it is like this. Drives move straight, non-drive cross over. So on a Honda, the front wheels move straight back, and the back wheels cross over to the opposite side front. (LR moves to RF, RR moves to LF)

Directional tires just stay on the same side of teh car, swap em front to back

No difference if the rims or suspension componants are stock or aftermarket.

And I rotate every other oilchange

I have directionals, so no moving side to side. Just front to back. I have heard so many different opinions on when to rotate. Just wanted to see what y'all think. Thanks, guys!
