Look at how they've been wearing to get an idea of any problems you might have. Are they wearing differently from side to side or front to rear?
Specifically, are they wearing more on the inside or the outside, indicating you need a wheel alignment. Or are they wearing more in the middle or on both outside edges indicating they have over inflated or underinflated pressure? Are they cupped, indicating worn shocks or out of balance wheels? Cupping can also indicate worn ball joints or tie rod ends on front tires if you look before the first rotation. (The tire is vibrating as it rolls down the road because its not being held tightly by these components.)
Tire rotation can actually mask alignment or other problems if you don't look at the tires before you shift them, whether you move them front to rear or side to side.
