Unfortunately, it says to contact the vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear for the rotation pattern.

For mud terrains, rotate every 4000. For all terrains, every 6000.
Assuming tires are not directional....
Front tires switch sides and go back. the rear tires go straight to the front on the same side.
And noise/vibration is normally louder after a rotation for a little while, since the tires are not running on worn tread anymore. They are now getting "rounded out" again due to them being in a different location.

I dont run on the Goodyears, but, as a rule, on all my 4x4 trucks with other than stock tires, I have always rotated at every oil change (3000-3500 mi.) and have never had any major issues!

With the rotation pattern suggested above, how are you guys rotating in your spares (if you're doing it at all)? I never have but am considering it. My guess is that it shouldn't really matter which tire you rotate out as long as it's always from the same position. does this sound logical?

This JK is my first with the spare tire thing. But right now it is mismatching so I don't include it lol.
When I go up to 35s, I will slap on an old worn 35 on my stock rim for a spare when needed.

so anyone running 35's have input on rotating in the spare? seems to me since my Toyo that hasn't hit the ground cost a lot.. I should rotate it in to get some use out of it.
has anyone done this for the whole life of a M/T tire and have feedback on if it extends the mileage you got out of 'em?
