I do, this way change the tires to try something new when they wear out.

I rotate them in since its very common to move up in a tire size so no money wasted plus it gets sun rot sitting on the back all that time.

Nope, never have. The main reason being that the dealership didn't ask and didn't do it for the first handful of rotations with new tires. When I finally thought about it, there's was enough wear on the four that I decided it wouldn't be worth it.

Absolutely! At $350 a pop I'm making them last as long as I can!! Every oil change.

I always rotate in my spare. As mentioned, you get 20% more miles between tire purchases, but then, you have to pay 20% more when you buy tires! But if you go up a size and haven't rotated in your spare, you end up with a useless tire (which you could sell).

I just rotated in my spare. Makes for good continued maintenance on the spare to keep it ready for when you do need it.

Yep doesn't take but a few more minutes plus it makes it a whole lot easier if you do it yourself and you only have one floor jack. The thing i don't get is why Jeep puts that lock nut on it then gives every jk the same tool that fit every other jeeps lol!

Hmmm....1500 miles on my JK so I'm new...

Should I just print this pamphlet out and give it to the guy rotating my tires so they do it the same everytime?
