Due to various reasons, a neighbor's vehicle was in my driveway for a service visit. It had been 3600 miles since the last oil change and tire rotation. Since the car was already here, he asked me to perform an oil change.
He usually changes his oil when the vehicle's computer alerts him - which tends to be every 6,000 miles. We always rotate the tires at every oil change.
Is it better to rotate the tires now (after only 3,600 miles) or wait until the next service visit (which would result in 9,600 miles since the last rotation)?
Please explain your position and why.
For reference, this is a Honda Civic that sees city driving in hilly terrain. Tires are Michelin X Tour A/S (same as Defender T+H) and as of today, have 9,600 miles on them.
