> * every 7,500mi: rotate tires

What's that?

You change the position of the tires. The front ones are removed and fixed at the rear and the rear ones are removed and fixed at the front.

Allows for uniform wear and tear for the tires.

Some even interchange the left and right tires.

Left <-> right interchange doesn't really happen anymore since radial tires have become standard on most vehicles.

Radial tires are unidirectional, so if you go left -> right your tires will be rotating backwards, and then they won't be able to channel water out from the treads.

Change the wheel a given tire is attached to. This is to have a regular "wear" on your tires. Incidentally, you can also regularly rotate your mattress to have a better sleep.

>Change the wheel a given tire is attached to.

I don't think I've ever had this done when getting my tires rotated. They just move the wheels and tires from front to back and sometimes from left to right.

That what I wanted to convey, I am not a native speaker and sometimes I tend to be somewhat unclear.
