Do I have to rotate the tires?
If you mean swapping wheel sides, not it can't help. If we
ran the same wheels front and back, maybe you could save
a bit if the rears wore sooner than the front, but unless you're
racing one way around a track there's no benefit.
However, if you are running significant camber, and are
experiencing more wear on the inside edges of the tire than
the outside, then you could get your tire shop to rotate each
tire on it's rim so you even out the wear. You would need to
know that your tire shop was very careful about mounting
and dismounting tires because tires can be internallydamaged
by heavy-handed dismounting, and the usual shop never has
worry about dismounting because it's usually a tire being thrown
out...
