Your dealer is NOT doing their job. Per the owner's manual, rotation is to be done every 5k for 2010 Corollas.

Now wait a minute ! "j06" didn't say the dealer refused to rotate the tires did they? If the customer doesn't ask for a service the dealer will not perform it. The responsibility of the upkeep of their vehicle falls on the owner reading the manual and knowing what is recommended and ask for that service, not the dealer. I for one refuse rotations every time. I'm one of those that allow the fronts to wear out then rotate the rears to the fronts and buy two new rears. This method is followed by many and works for me too. New research has found that the newer tires should always be on the rear; after years of tire dealers and repair shops doing just the opposite.

This is to update everyone, I talked to the Bridgestone people and they have agreed to give me 50% discount on the new Bridgestone tires. That's good deal in my opinion so I am going to take it. Any recimmendation on new Bridgestone tires?
Although I mentioned already (see message #3 above), to clarify once again, the tires were rotated once at the dealer's place (at 10 K) and a 2nd time at Firestone shop (at 13 K).
Thanks everyone.

For 2010s and up, the dealer is supposed to be doing the maintenance listed in the owner's manual for free for the first 2 years, or 25k miles. And it specifically says oil change AND tire rotations, every 5k miles. So the dealer screwed up by not performing the rotations.
