Tires: tire rotation

Question
The manual for my 2014 Nissan says to rotate the tires every 5000 miles. I know it's not exact, but I always heard 6000 miles and did it then. Does it really matter, or has that changed?  Thanks

Answer
James,

The exact mileage isn't very important.   The general rule is 5K to 8K.

But what is important is that not only not to go too long, but to make sure it gets done.  That way the wear is evened out and the individual wheel positions don't cause longer term issues.
