Q. How often do I rotate tires?
A.   Every other oil change or so, thus usually every 6-10,000 miles. You want the tires to wear evenly for longer wear, better handling, and safety.

Q. Do I need to replace all 4 tires is I have a blow-out?
A.   Because full time all-wheel-drive systems read traction from the tires, mis-matched tires are a bad.
This means all tires need the same tread pattern and size to within 1/4" circumference?. The same tread pattern means they need to be from the same manufacturer. If you have a non-repairable blow-out and the tires aren't brand new you should replace all 4 unless there's less than 1/4" circumference difference.
