How often do you need to rotate 19" tyres i.e. 245/40/19

I am getting conflicting responses, some say

5,000kms
8,000kms
10,000kms

which one is better?

I rotate my tyres every 5000kms always have always will.

When I had my VR & VY Clubby's I was getting 45000 kms out of a set of tyres.

I was getting around 50,000 kilometres to a set of Potenzas and I rarely rotated them. Probably 2 or 3 times for the entire life of the tyres and they wore perfectly even. Camber issues and what not aren't really an issue with later model Commodores.

X2 if it was a VQ to VZ with the IRS then you'd be rotating quite often but I'd only rotate when getting a wheel alignment, if you see usually wear pattern then its probably down to the way you drive if your go hard into corners (chew out the edges on the front) and launch hard off the line (chew out centre of the rear) then it will wear in the usual places.

Just do a rotation with each service and you'll be fine.
