Re: [MBZ] Tire rotation interval

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

On a W210 if you do not rotate the tires the rear tires, especially the right rear, will wear out way before the front. The reason this question comes up is I am about 3k miles away from a 14k rotation interval on the 01 E320 which had new Milestar 50k mile tires installed then.  I happen to notice the right rear seems like it has way more wear that it should.  I need to look at it further.  That just got me to wondering if 14k is too long.  I think I got it from the attached document.

fuel consumption and a small decrease in overall tire life.

OTOH, if you don't rotate your tires, the drive tires wear usually out first so 
you waste rubber if you replace all four or waste money if you replace pairs 
without getting the rebate for buying four.
