my daughter has a 350z - the
front and rears are different sizes, so no 
rotation at all!!!!

Dave, what do you do for carrying a spare tyre? Do you carry one small
(dough-nut) tyre, or two (One of each size? This was one of the biggest
reasons the I didn't peddle with two different size wheels on my bicycle,
because I had to carry at lease one of each size tyre & tube.
 
Back to the
main topic's thread about how (direction) to rotate tyres:
I go the
conventional way of rotating radial tyres (front to rear & vise versa). I
don't have directional tyres on the Garage Queen (TR4A), but on my other cars
I do (so I'm in that habit now & I don't see any reason to change it.). This
way, when I see tyre wear, I com-pair wheels to known that it's either the
front or the rear of that one side to correct when going into for wheel
alignment. I also rotate around 3,333 miles when I do the Oil & Filter change
& lube the entire car, along with other maintenance (waxing the under
carriage, etc.) at that mile marker.
 
Is that to often in rotating?
