I have mine rotated once a year for my I average about 15,000 miles a year. Also over 80% if my mileage is highway
 
My wheel/tire setup is staggered (wider wheels and tires on rear) from factory, so no more rotations for me

I used to do it once ever 20,000kms on other cars.
 
Around every 7k miles when I change the oil in the Sonata.

The Jeep I've lost track of the rotations, the tires are getting older and I don't drive it all that much, I don't think I'll rotate them anymore. I will when I get new tires in a year or two.

The Camry has the newer pair up front.
 
Depends on the vehicle. I had a Crown Vic I bought with cheap tires on it, had to rotate every 5k or less tokeep the front edges from getting bald. Had an early 2000s Wrangler with a 4 cyl, and it went around 15k between rotations.
 
Only front to back, only when weather is nice and I have time. 10k if they're lucky, more if not.

I get rid of tires by age, not mileage. Very common to get rid of tires at 6-8 years, 60k miles, and 50% tread.
 
Every 10K miles. I used to do it every 5K and then I realized that I end up buying tires based on age like JHZR2 as well. I put 12-15K miles per year on my cars anyways, so after 5-6 years buy a new set despite having 30-50% tread still left.
 
I try to do tire rotation on the same schedule as oil changes, so every 7500 miles. However, the winter tires kind of throws a kink in the plan.

Regular rotation has paid off big on a couple occasions when I have gotten warranty on tires that have worn out prematurely. Being able to prove that the tires were rotated on a regular basis makes the warranty claim much easier.
