I can't rotate at all...damn assymmetric tread dissimilar sized tires...and only 12-14k miles out of each :(
Ugh, $2k/yr in tires

Geeze, not all that long ago I never paid more than that for a used pickup  =(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

That's getting to be a tough one, but not as bad as 8.25x16 and 9.00x16.  Are you still running bias plies?  If not, why haven't you switched to 235/85R16's, trying to keep a classic vehicle close to original?

Just kidding, it has 235/85R16's on it now  ;)
