Should I rotate my tires on my 2007GT?

Should I rotate my tires on my 2007 RX8?
my right rear tire is a little worn, i was wondering if I should rotat them.
The dealer wanted me to buy new tires so he stated that I shouldnt rotat them.
Wondering if he's trying to make money off of me.

If they are worn there is no point in rotating now.

1 is worn, but not to the point of replacement. it's the right rear tire.
its worn more than the other tires, but not to the point where it needs replaced.

Depends............
Badly worn on one side of tire will effect alignment. Even wear = spinning tire so then you can rotate but a highly worn tire on one side of car in front will still effect alignment.

Find an old school guy and take an auto class at Jr. College.

Aren't our stock tires directional? Like the right tires cannot be used in the left tires. I tried getting my right front to my left rear but they told me it's directional.. I'm lost. Thing is, I have 2 brand new tires on the right side of the car. The left side has 2 worn tires.
