Tire Rotation
« on: March 29, 2011, 09:38:16 PM »
Here's a question...how often do you guys rotate the tires on your classic Mustangs?  I only put about maybe 1,000 miles a year on the car and change the oil once a year but I haven't rotated the tires since I got them back in 2006.  Thoughts?  Opinions?

I rotate mine every year while giving the wheelwell and structure area a good cleaning along with the inside of the wheels and the suspension that is reachable.  No extra effort to rotate tires at that point and it makes it easy to keep track of as opposed to a mileage schedule.  Also flush the brake system every other year, along with changing the anti freeze.
