    I had to really look for that mount point to find it the first time. It was so inaccessible that I kept thinking I had to be wrong.

    It's been my experience that a front back rotation will wear out the driver's side tires first; while there's decent "meat" on the passenger side tires. It's probably due to our fat butts being in the drivers seat all the time; unless your always caring around a equivalent weight on the passenger side.
    I do a clockwise rotation of the my tires and get even wear across all four. They all get replaced at the same time.
    I've found that cross rotation, the car handles a bit funny for a while - probably knocking down high spots from being on the other rear side of the car. More bouncing around with an empty trunk and less weight on that axle. I don't 'feel' that with a clockwise rotation, because the passenger side tire is moving into the rear drivers side.

    YMMV
