I normally do it every other oil change on mine, but i mean what do you have to lose by doing one. Do one just incase the previous owner never did. Maybe do an oil change to even though the dealer may have already done one it. Can never be to safe IMO.

Yes. Typically every 6,000 miles... Drive tires (front, on SCIONS of course) move straight back, and take the rear tires and criss-cross to the front.

I rotate tires every 10,000 miles, which for me is every other oil change.
Thank goodness I can't drive all of my cars (16) I'd be really busy!

Before, when I had the same width wheels, I would rotate every 5k miles, same as the oil change. Now I just get the alignment checked.
