It all depends on type of road one drives...if its only highway then around twice a year (every six months).

I do mine 3 times a years

well...i would said rotate based on range u clocked. not highway or city drive. although highway drive eats into tyres more

ideally would be 20k km rotate once.

for me i rotate once during 30k km.

What I meant here is, rotation plus balancing. Most of time, running at highway, instills less damage to wheel. Driving more on rural area and housing estate, where there are more potholes and uneven roads, causes more misalignment to your wheel, which eventually gonna reduce your tire lifespan, it its not balanced and rotated frequently.

i see but my 95% highway also cause my alignment to run away as well. the last miles is the pot hole and speed bump.

Would say depend on road condition.

for balancing is less of worry as balancing does not run away like alignment unless you taken off your tires be4.

speaking of balancing, i prefer on-wheel balancing. it is the most accurate balancing i would say.

The other balancing method that require taking off the rims and put into a machine to have it balance is damn inaccurate. Tried several other shop uses this method got some serious vibration on the steering during highspeed.

When i go back to the shop that did on-wheel balancing, the steering would not even vibrate even i clock the speed higher than before.

Alignment does not "run away" that easily, by just hitting a few pot holes or speed lump. Is there by any chance you are the victim of adjustable camber nut scam?

Well, daily hit of unavoidable pot holes and speed bump does ruining my alignment.

i usually go and do my alignment every 10k km whenever i do my car service
