    I've called VW Dealership, they think the camber should be neutral.
    and suggested the tyre rotation to be only performed every 2 years.
    Now I'm completely lost.

    tyre rotation every 10,000km (as mentioned before) or 2 years (whatever comes first) would be ideal if you want to wear all 4 tyres evenly.
    but seriously, find a decent alignment place.
    where in VIC are you?

    Don't swap any tires
    a) you will just ruin the tyres
    b) you really want the wheel alignment place to see the problem

    Get the car into a decent wheel alignment place asap

    Two on the cruiser were older than that and the tread started to lift around the edge on the sidewall.
