Rotating tires?

[ITD]

My tires rotate every time I drive.

That's a surprise comment coming from Scotty Kilmer about never rotating the tires on his Lexus, Matrix, and 3rd vehicle there which are all older cars with probably plenty miles.

Of course, tires are easy to see and easy to inspect the tread plus the NH state inspection always takes a strong look at tires and brakes, like the #1 safety items in the yearly inspection.

I've been following Scotty Kilmer (YouTube) for a couple of years, and agree with everything he says.

As for tires, tread longevity seems to be foremost when buying tires, but I find the ride (and road noise) increases with age.

(That is, the tire's age).



Likewise, I don't normally rotate tires; however, I might make an exception this Friday. My vehicle is going in for its third alignment in a month! Maybe they can get the steering wheel straight, test-drive it, stop the front tires from a noticeable rippling across the new tread and squealing on turns on smooth asphalt. If they can't get the toe-in corrected this time, I will have to adjust it myself.
