    Your car is rear wheel drive so the rear tires will wear quicker than the front, to equalizer wear and lengthen tire life the tires should be rotated every 10,000 miles or so. All 4 wheel lug nuts need to be loosened, the car jacked up and secured safely and the front tires are rotated to the rear/rear to the front and the wheel lug nuts are tightened to proper torque spec, safest let a tire shop do it.
