How often should I be rotating and balancing tires for RX 330 AWD?

kiwi

only need to balance when you put tires on rims or there is a vibration issue at highway speeds.

i know it may be a little much, but you cant rotate tires too often, i do mine every oil change (works out to every 3-4 months)

I did tire rotation with every oil change, about every 3-4K. 5K is standard. Tires were balanced only when I put on new tires. And alignment every 15K. At least by me, the roads are bad enough to warrant it.

It is a good thing to rotate tires and more so if you have uneven wear. My tires wear evenly from one edge to the middle and to the other edge so I do not rotate tires. The fronts for me do wear out quicker, so I move the front to the back and install new in the front. [I am old fashioned here. Every time I ask for new tires in the front the tire shop reminds me of the study done by a tire manufacturer with the result that the better tires should go in the back]

5K is the recommended interval - Are the second generation getting the synthetic oil that only needs 10K replacement? Otherwise a good alternative is as kitlz suggests, rotation with oil change to keep the number of trips for upkeep to a minimum.

Do mine every 8k. Got almost 70K on the original stock Michilens. Got good even ware and some tread left to go even farther. Probably will change them before this next winter.
