Rotating the tires on your car is a common recommendation for general car care. Mechanics will take the tires from the front of the car and put them on the rear axle and move the rear tires to the front. They also may alternate the passenger side tires with the driver side tires.
This action helps evenly wear tire traction extending the life of the tire. If the tires were left in one position, the treads on the tire would wear off on some of the tires faster than others. The way you drive may affect it as well as how often. Whether your car has rear wheel, front wheel or all wheel drive will affect how the treads are worn as well.
Rotating tires reduces the number of new tire purchases you need to make by getting the most possible wear out of the existing tires. It's smart care.
