Uneven tire wear, such as cupping, is not caused by improper rotation of the tires, it is caused by the vehicle itself. Vehicles that are out of alignment will cause the tires to cup. Some vehicles, especially light trucks and SUV's will wear tires unevenly even when aligned correctly. Rotation, is a way to "even out" the uneven wear. Vipers' suspension components and steering linkage are much stronger than most vehicles and are not easily knocked out of alignment. When properly aligned a viper should not cause any abnormal tire wear and therefor tire rotation is not necessary.
