Hi Ray and all, the car is front wheal drive and I have 5 mag weals. We drive mainly on sealed roads and I check tyer pressures about every 2 weeks. Mostly there is only my wife and I travelling in the car. The only reason I thought I might rotate the wheels is to make sure they are done about every 8 - 10000 km. The service interval is every 15000 or 12 months which ever comes first. Max.
