Does anyone include the spare tire in the rotation sequence? If so, how? Or do most KJ owners leave the spare new? |

Good question! I want to start rotating my spare as well to spread out the treadwear and hopefully get more life from all 5 tires. Only problem is, when I bought my Generals I only ordered 4 tires. Guy from tire store says that I shouldn't go much past 6,000 miles on the first 4 tires before introducing the fifth. Guess I should get on this already. |

i rotate the spare with the rest of the tire rotation. we rotate all 5 tires every 6k miles, or every second oil change. |

mine is included in the rotation. but i have had so many flats on my wrangler ST's that it kind of roatates itself into the mix. |

I think I will drop the spare from the rotation once it get back to the original position. By then I will have had enough of the ST's and get 4 new tires, keeping the half-worn old spare for a donut. |
