I don't think my tires will last 20k. it's only got about half the tread
left after 6500 miles. I've only done 2 burnouts (<5 seconds) so far but
I don't think I'll light them up again.

Tire rotation is one of the best things you can do for
your tires, the ride
of the truck, and your pocket book. By rotating them
you extend the life of
your tires and thus you spend less money because you
don't have to buy new
tires after 20,000 miles or less. The ride in your
truck will be smoother
because all of the tires are wearing evenly. A lot of
people ignore tire
rotation but if you have a R/T (like I do) you want to
take care of your
tires because I don't want to have to spend 200 bucks a
tire for new ones
20,000 miles from now (well that is under normal driving
conditions having an
R/T driving is nothing but normal especially when you
get up next to a person
who thinks that they have a fast car). My suggestion.
ROTATE!!!
