I switch between winter tires and summer tires when appropriate, and what was on the front last year, goes to the back this year. They're all directional, so that's as much tire rotation as is possible, but you're right, it makes the sets ready for replacement all at once. All cars wear tires, and unless something is drastically wrong, it's not going to differentiate between manufacturers. Dave Hinz
