Part of the problem is also that the runflat sidewalls are super stiff -- which I think makes the tires very sensitive to directional changes and wear patterns.

So, my advice is to not rotate.

I rotate every 8000 miles, i have non rft. I will get 40,000 miles out of my tires because of rotation. Front outer corners wear most, rotating slows this down.
