tire rotation
I am new to vettes and plan to buy when I return from Iraq. But I was wondering today. How often do you rotate your tires? I have been driving a pick up truck so I normally rotate all four. but Vette owners have different sizes around the vehicle. Do the tires last longer because the car is so light?

No rotation of Vette tires (they are 'directional' tires - meaning they can rotate in one direction only).
The tires on Vettes last for X period of time, depending on driving conditions/habits, tire manufacture, etc. This is the same situation that exists with any tire on any vehicle.

Directionals can be rotated side-to-side too. As stated earlier, it would involve dismounting and re-mounting of tires to maintain directionality.
