Default How often do you have your tires rotated?

I'm assuming the tires are rotated on the standard service checks? I bought the audi care and the 5,000 miles was already done. I'm wondering if the tires should be rotated only during the service checks or every 5,000 miles etc...?

I do it twice a year when I change from summer to winter and back to summer. 5-10k miles is appropriate.

Default +1 This is the no brainer way...

if you use snows. If not, at a minimum do it by mid life--around 6/32" of tread depth if you go down to 2/32" by end. AudiCare only does he very first one, so you are on your own after that. Opportunistically at times like if you happen to have all four brakes you can move them around too of course.

A couple times a year.
I buy my tires at Costco - unlimited free rotation while you shop

I believe Audi Care does not cover rotation, u pay extra for that.
