How often do you get new tires?

[7rider]

On a related topic... most tires are still the same front and rear, does anyone rotate them?

Otherwise the front tire will typically last twice as long as the rear, or longer. I usually get 1500-2000 out of a rear. I just replaced my front at 3700, there was LOTS of life left in it but I wanted to get a matching pair of a new brand.

I rotate them - maybe at the beginning of the season or if the rear is looking especially tired, so I can milk some more miles out of them. At nearly $50 a pop, I want to get as many miles out of them as possible! I'm particularly bad about replacing tires, falling into the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" category. If the slits in them start to look horrifying, I'll replace the tire. No idea how many miles on them...maybe 4K on them now? Might be time to start thinking of a new set.

Back tire once a year - at about 3000 km - the front goes in the back - it stayed on last winter to be worn out on the trainer and got replaced in the springtime.

Changes in between if I see deep cuts.
