The purpose of regularly rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear on each tire.
If no period is specified in your owners manual, then the tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles. When tires suffer from lack of rotation their useable life can be cut drastically.
Check in your vehicle handbook for the manufacturer's recommended rotation pattern.
There are three common rotation patterns.
Front to Back
This is the industry default & does well for almost any application.
Cross Front To Rear
For most rear & 4 wheel drive vehicles.
Cross rear to the front Front wheel drive vehicles.
