I've got 18,500 on the Bronco (since June 10th!) and the tires I've got on there are wayyyy too expensive to risk uneven wear.

Of course, rotation is free given I buy my tires at Town Fair...

Good luck with Town Fair... I bought my son four new tires there a few months ago and they mounted two inside-out. Yes, that's a thing his two passenger side tires had the word "inside" facing out. I called the store manager and tore him a new one he had nothing he could say just told me he's sorry about five times and of course fixed the problem. I've also in the past caught them not rotating all four when I bring a vehicle in for that service. One time I stood at the door and literally watched the guy not (correctly) rotate all four. Again, I got the manager and told him why don't you go get the tech and we'll talk with him right now and ask him why he did that. Of course he didn't want to do that with me there he said don't worry me and him will be talking when you leave. I rotate every oil change (5,000-6,000) miles, always have, always will. I have my garage do it from now on and just pay them..... They actually DO IT!
