Default Tire Rotation with S-Techs

I am not entirely sure how tire rotations work but I googled it.
There are quite a lot of different instructions and directions to rotate etc...

I would just get it done with the services ... but I am not going to let them touch my painted wheels. ;p

So! Any suggestions on how/when to rotate the wheels? Anything I should do differently concerning where each should move to since I have the s-techs installed and the right rear wheel has the -3'ish camber?

Thanks guys.

not sure if suspension will affect it...but from what i remember from skimming through the tC2 manual...i think it suggest

every 5k miles
and rotate front<>back (left front with left back...right front with right back)

Make sure to only do front to back because most tires sold for our cars are directional. Also make sure the car is properly supported(the scissor jack that comes with your car sucks) and use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts.

The type of shocks or suspension you have on your car make no difference on the tire rotation.

If the tires you have on your car have an arrow for rotation direction, you can only rotate the tires on the same side of the car. The tires must stay on the same side of the car, just swap front to rear.

If your tires don’t have a directional arrow, rotate the tires by putting the fronts on the same side on the rear, and cross the rears to the front. That is, put the left rear on the right front and the right rear on the left front.

As far as intervals go, just keep doing it at a consistent interval.
