Recommended tire rotation.
Four tires:
Right rear, to right front
Left rear to left front
Right front to left rear
Left front to right rear

Five tires (spare):
Spare to right rear
Right rear to right front
Left rear to left front
Right front to left rear
Left front to spare

These are the recommendations of the Tire Manufacturers association, as well as most of the car companies. I read a study years ago, and it was proved out on a few of my cars, the right rear wears the fastest on rear wheel drive vehicles. This is true, with our without a limited slip axle or traction control. For that reason, the first rotation put the spare on the right rear. (I wonder if the rear left wears faster in England, Australia, etc., due to the right and left turns behind complete opposite?)
