I have always gone the other way, opting to rotate every 3-4k miles (I
typically buy the "road hazard" warranties that cover free rotation and
balancing as it did once pay off for me on a new VR Gatorback that got a drill
chuck key through the sidewall). I go in for rotation and balancing at the
first sign of any vibration and have found it seems to help. On my first 5ktq
I used to get over 30k per set of VR Gatorbacks which I thought to be pretty
good life--and I was never easy on the car.

Of course when you have different sizes front to rear rotating is not an
option. 

Why would tire dealers and Audi have such differing recomendations? To sell
more tires and service? Makes me go "hmm..." Any tire experts (Rudy???) wish
to comment?

Didn't know it was possible...but yes.
