I disagree. They avoid having to rotate tires every 5k miles when the oil service is 15k!

And if the response is 'they could rotate at 15k' then clearly this is ill advised as wear issues would be apparent and you should not rotate at 15k intervals.

Like I said, Michelin recommends rotations...unless they are on a BMW, in which case they wienie out and say 'follow the car mfg recommendation'


Kinda like hearing 'don't need to change the ATF until 100k' when you come in for service at 50k miles...then at 95k, the SA says "nothing but trouble messing with ATF at high mileage- I wouldn't do it"



BMW spends huge sums to convince the public that everything they do is for handling and performance. Seems to work.
