If you're running a square (all tires/wheels the same size) and your tires aren't directional a 7-8k mile rotation is a good plan. With summer tires a rotation every 5k is good since they wear much faster.

Twice a year when switching my summer and winter tires. Never done an actual rotation.

I do mine every 10,000 or so.

I don't rotate my tires, because they're staggered. But I rotate the tires on my wife's car every other oil change.

Depending on how you drive most Infiniti/Nissan vehicles recommend every 5,000-6,000 miles.

I also do the 7500-10,000 miles depending on tire condition and tread life. Speaking of rotations, what is the fastest method that you guys use to rotate the tires?

With my square setup I roll up on ramps, jack the back @ the differential, place my rear jack stands. I then use the floor jack to lightly raise the front just off the ramps to complete the wheel swapping. I slightly loosen the lug nuts prior to any jacking to simplify the job. Takes about 15 minutes if I'm just rotating, but every other time I clean the hub, rotor, and wheel mating surfaces w/ wire brushes/wheels, so that takes a bit more time.

Good idea with the ramps , want to try that but i remember not being able to get my jack under the rear of the car, might have to get a low profile jack.

7k miles or so
