there is nothing wrong with it, but there is no reason for it for the reasons I listed previously.... it is creating extra wrk for no reason, it would be like puttin new air in your tires every time you rotated them as well... it is a good Idea to drain your tires down and air them all up to the propper pressure with new air, but it is excessive... all you NEED to do is top them off, same with a rotate, all you NEED to do is front to back, unless there is a problem as stated b4

Some do, but only after you buy their tires (with warranty)!!!!! A lot of us use the original tires till they need to be replaced.

okay. do u guys recommend me to go to toyota dealer for rotation? ThX!

I do my own service......but I thought the dealer service is oil/filter change, various inspections, and tire rotation....at least in the maintenence manual this is listed as standard 5,000 mile service (every 5,000).

i think anywhere can do a good Rotation, big ten, kauffman.....even you can do it by your self, or go to some Hispanic places and do it for cheaper.

Thanks a lot! So how much does it usually cost?

I don't care for Wal-Mart as a company nor as a retailer but their tire center sells lifetime balancing and rotation for $7.50 US per tire. I haven't found a better deal yet.
