Rotating Tires
Such a simple procedure, but how do you do it at home? Looking under my 2006 e320 I see what looks like a full plastic pan and four jack points.
With my old Volvo I was able to jack up a corner in the front and place jack stands on the frame. For the rear, when I jacked up one side, the other rear wheel would come off the ground. This would allow me to rotate the tires.
So, If I jack up a corner of the car using the jack point, is there anywhere to place the jack stands?
Otherwise, it is off to Costco and let them deal with it.
Thanks everyone!

Why bother...take it to a shop and have them do it, cost should be no more than $20 - $25.00. And if you are real nice to them, they might even check and adjust your air pressures for free.

Thanks guys! I will just let Costco do it. On to a follow-up question, how (or where) do I place jack stands under the front in order to change the brakes?

By chance, is there a center part to jack the car up and then place the jack stands under the jack tabs? Or, is there any other option to get the front end off of the ground without having to use two hydraulic jacks?
Thanks again!!

Where do you jack the car at the front and/or the back to get the jack stands under the pads?

I only rotate them once a year. I have snows for winter and when I put them back on in spring they are rotated. 95% of my driving is highway, I can get upwards of 50k or more out of a set of tires..
