I've checked and it didn't indicate the spare wheel - I heard that the spare wheel should be rotated together. is that correct? Thanks again, JL/
It's not "necessary" but since the Wrangler is one of the few vehicles that uses not only a full size spare, but also a matching wheel, there are two camps when it comes to that:
1) Don't use the spare, that way you only have to buy 4 tires instead of 5 when it comes time for new ones.
2) Use all five which extends the time period that you have to buy new tires.
If you're happy with the tires and/or wheels you have now and don't plan of switching brands, then there's no harm in only rotating 4. If you think you'd like to switch it up next tire time, I'd rotate all 5. If you elect to only rotate 4 make sure you apply some kind of protectant to the spare tire as it'll be hanging out in the sun for a couple years.
I honestly quit rotating all 5 on my JK. I love the Cooper STT's I have on it and will buy them again, but more importantly, the goddam thing weighs over 150#s and it's a bitch getting it on & off the EVO carrier by myself :crazyeyes:
