Yes, rotate your tyres—it keeps wear even and your steering less grumpy.
A safe rule in Australia is every 8,000–10,000 km or at each service, sooner if you tow or drive on coarse chip.
For non-directional tyres: on FWD, move the fronts straight back and cross the rears to the front; on RWD, do the reverse; AWD/4WD—follow the owner’s manual and keep all four within similar tread depth.
Directional or staggered setups? Keep them on the same side and go front-to-back only.
After rotating, set pressures to the placard, check balance and alignment, and re-torque wheel nuts to the manufacturer spec once the wheels have settled.
If wear is choppy or one shoulder’s balding like Uncle Kev, get a suspension and alignment check. Consult official documentation for exact figures.
