That stinks. Either you drive like a maniac or the yoko's 400 rating is bs. Perhaps a bit of both?

In that case, you are gonna have to go easy on the car in order for your tires to last.....if not you are gonna have to dish out mad loot to get a new set of tires everytime.......I used to be the same way, but the pockets started to suffer so i had to stop....

You don't need to rotate the tires every 2,500 miles. Try 7,500 miles and save yourself the aggravation. What is the recommended tire pressure? Perhaps you should lower it to more like 33 front and 32 rear or whatever is stated inside the lid of your console.

rotating every 2500 is pointless

you might want to INCREASE psi, not decrease...
