rotate tires w/ spare

[vinconco]

Just bought a new set of Michelin 245 M/S and noticed that the spare is the same tire, brand new but on a cheap wheel. I would like to buy 1 extra stock alloy wheel and rotate the tires with the spare. My questions are: where do I find a wheel and what is the proper rotating sequence.

I do not rotate tires so I only buy 2 at a time, seems rears wear out faster than fronts.

I just did mine yesterday.....

I did mine in my driveway. Used to have a DRW

3500 Ram, that was a pain in the arse. .



My rears were wearing even across but wearing

fast because of the Power Edge fueling module

getting lots of use. . and 2nd gear burnouts.



Fronts were wearing the outer edges some. May

be a little under the correct pressure.



I swapped the left front with the left rear,

then the right front with the right rear so

they will continue to rotate in the same

direction. Maybe it's an old "wives' tale"

but I heard the tires could be damaged otherwise.



I had 14,500 miles on em since new (Michelins).



Torque the lug nuts to 130 Ft lbs so you don't

warp the rotors!
