Hey guys,
I've had my car now for about a year and 3 months but have not included my spare wheel in the wheel/tyre rotation.
I think when I get my car serviced, they rotate the wheels according to tyre tread. If my spare wheel is looking pretty fresh should I include this in and take off the most worn one?
Which wheel tends to wear out more (assuming right hand drive and not too much spirited driving)?
Cheers guys!

in theory all 4 of yours tyres should wear evenly with correct tyre pressures, wheel balancing, wheel allignment and rotation.
your best bet is to keep your spare fresh, when you need a new set of tyres you will only need to buy 3 instead of 4. then use the best of the old ones for a spare.

Watch for directional tread on the tyre - most Liberty tyres should only go on one side of the car (long term)
