tire rotation question

I've generally found that on RWD cars the fronts and backs wear pretty evenly, no need for rotation even if it was possible. But I'm not doing AutoX or tracking

Not really, in a RWD the rears will wear faster and a FWD the fronts will then do it. Unless is an alignment issue.

I agree with previous post about putting money into alignment/balance if you have this need.
That is an alignment issue, no question ask!

This statement was about past Z's not the 370.
No its cornering wear. I get an alignment every time and it was never off by much if any. The local tire store owner walks past my car and keeps me informed about my tire tread, so he can take my car and return it with new rubber.
The 370 has 2300 miles on this set and all those little "needles?" or bumps that stick out on the tread edge are gone. Not the ones on the sidewall.

PapoZalsa I love your avatar.
