LOL! on rotating tires on a front wheel drive car! I have driven front wheel drive cars since 1980, and never rotated tires once. All cars were driven at least 120K-140K miles.
Fact: front wheel drive cars front tires wear out faster than the rear wheel tires, by a ratio of between 3 to 5 x.
Fact: you can't change that wear ratio by rotating tires.
Rotating tires just evens out the wear so that you buy 4 new tires at the same time.
Not rotating tires means that you wear out the front tires, and replace only the front tires.
The killer is all wheel drive all the time. The front and rear do not wear at the same rate due to turning, and to any differential issues in keeping the turning rates identical. So frequent rotation is highly recommended. I did not rotate the subaru tires frequently enough, and never got more than 40K miles out of a 60K rated tire, either front or back.
I do not recommend driving all wheel drive cars in florida
