to prolong the tyre usage...please rotate ur tyre...

Tyre rotation is not recommended for some cars and some tyre types.

For instance some cars use different tyre widths front and back, while some tyres have rotation direction specified.

Some tyres have an indication on the tyre wall usually an arrow showing rolling direction accompanied by "rolling direction". This is due to the tread pattern and usually found on tyres with non-symmetrical treads.

Don't underestimate the importance of tyres. Remember, it is the only thing that is contacting the road. It is the only thing that moves the car and allow it to stop. Even with the best brakes, spoilers, engine but without good tyres, you're as good as driving a barge on the road.

Fun fact: The average contact surface of a tyre on the road is around the surface area of your palm.
