Tire rotation for AWD

I have a 2000 RX300 AWD and I would like to know do AWD vehicles need tire rotation? And if so how often? Thanks

I rotate mine every 5000/6000. 30000 miles and looking good. At least i0000/15000 left.

Yes, rotation is needed. The suggested interval is every 5,000 miles. I do it every 10K or 15K due to slow tire wear. The rotation pattern is front to back on the same side, with spare rotated to the driver side.

Somehow my driver side tires wear faster than the other side. I think it's because my driver side is heavier.

So you may want to rotate the spare tire only to the driver side.
