Tire rotation.

The rears move straight forward.
The fronts switch sides to the rear. Left front to right rear, right rear to right front, right front to left rear, left rear to left front. Thats primo. Most irregular wear will even itself out.

Any reason why you're not rotating the spare in? Totally personal preference but I figure if I paid for a spare, I'm going to use it. Search for the 5-tire rotation, just another option to think about.

I think you're further off doing a five tire rotation. Not only do you get more milage out of a set of tires, but when it comes time to replace the set you don't have a brand new spare that's useless. If you decide to change tire brand, model, or size, you can't reuse your current spare.

A spare is just that. SPARE. You dont put a spare on for shits and giggles. You put a spare on because a tire is FLAT, and you have no other OPTIONS to DRIVE the JEEP out of whatever shithole you currently have a flat in.
So why would you chance damaging the spare by rotating it in?
My spare is squeaky clean. If I change tires to a different size or brand, i'll sell it on craigslist.
The tires don't last 20% longer. You can use them for a 20% longer time, but then you have to buy five tires.
What do I know? I just worked at Les Schwab Tire Center for two years.
I'm probably guessing
Ive got 22,000 on my Toyos and they'll go another 20,000

My spare has been rotated in plenty of times now and it's in perfect condition. Maybe I'm wrong though, I haven't worked in a tire store.
