C&V tire rotation??

At least winter is just about half over. The roads are white with salt powder, black ice pops up when least expected, fields of sand and gravel at every intersection, road shoulders are constrained by snow banks and another 4 inches of snow coming tonight. Too much time on the trainer, thinking about cycling vs actually cycling.

So I stare at my two beauties and am happy to see that the rear tires (both new last spring) show wear on the treads. It was a good year. But the front tires show no wear (as expected). So I wonder if any of you real cyclists out there rotate your tires each winter to even out the wear rates; even out the wear so that when the time comes you change them both for new vs run that front a bit longer "cuz it ain't so bad yet". I've not seen that discussed there at all.

Do you rotate tires? How often?
