I have 35" GY Wrangler MTR K tires that need rotating. But here's the problem... About 3k miles ago I got a flat and needed a brand new tire. Instead of mounting 1 new and 3 used tires, I decided to use my previously unused, like-new spare. I put the spare and the new tire in the rear, as they obviously had more tread. So now I am wondering how to rotate my five tires, being that my front two and my spare have just under 9/16" tread depth and the rear two still have slightly more tread, being just under 5/8".
Would you just switch the rear two with each other, switch the front two with each other, and leave the spare aside?
If it matters, I have spyderlock beadlock wheels... Not sure if it is better to keep these wheels moving or if its ok to let them sit (in the case of the spare). Don't want the screws seizing up or anything from non-use.
Any help would be appreciated as I plan to wash the jeep and rotate the tires tomorrow since Illinois finally dropped to the 80's!!!
