Like 1,000 more per rotation was really going to make a tire wear out 40,000 before its time. That's right, blame the victim!
I got 35,000 out of my bridgestones driving easy, and rotating them every 5,000 miles. I think they should have lasted even longer though. They just don't have near as much tread on them to begine with though.
