This ^^^^^^^^^^^
I can't see where rotating tires every 5,000 miles is going to add any life to them. If you have front end problems, you're just going to wear them out faster, regardless of how often you switch them around. I just rotated the tires on my Jeep, that just turned 10,000 miles. I can't see any difference between the front and the rears.
My wife asked me why I did it. She said it looks like you just made work for yourself. I really didn't have a good answer for her, because she was right. They're going to stay where they are until they are worn out.
Do you ha e a tread depth measuring tool? They're about $5-10. Take a pic of today's odometer and in 10k do it again with pics of outer, middle, inner tread depth with the gauge on front and rear. No way they're worn evenly.
