Default Tire Rotation and Alignment

Greetings and Salutations,

I just crossed the 30,000 mile mark in my 2007 F150 4.2L. How often should I have my tires rotated and aligned? Is it a good idea to do that at a Wal-Mart?

You didn't get an owners manual with your truck ?? mine says every 5000 miles.

This might help...
