Just check the wear on your tires, especially the rear tire, every so often and rotate when you think it's time. Just don't let the tire wear flat. Make sure you rotate often enough so they keep the rounded shape.

Just ride 'em. Rotate your car tires, not your bike tires. When they're worn (big cuts or threads showing) put on new ones.

Have a couple of new tires & tubes on hand so you're ready.
