Tire rotations?

[mkayA3]

Hi guys,

My 2012 A3 TDI is currently at 13,700 miles. I was looking over the service checklist for the upcoming 15,000 mile service and saw nothing about rotating the tires. I then searched more in depth and found that they rotate the tires at 5,000 miles and then NEVER AGAIN??? That can't be good on a FWD vehicle. My fronts are definitely more worn than my rears due to my, ahem, 'spirited' cornering style. Do you guys have any experience with this policy of rotating the tires once and then never again? Should I rotate them at 15k? Thanks!

on my FWD A3 I used to rotate my tires every 10-15K or so. def recommend doing so!

I think it is referenced in the 5K service because that service is included. After that, everyone is on their own and I find 5K is worth it because it does extend the life of tires in my experience vs. going 10K. I have Michelin PSS tires and think the tread life warranty actually requires rotation on some interval, perhaps 5K.
