Too late for a 5-wheel rotation?

[Carbonalpine]

Hey all,

I haven't rotated my tires as of yet and I'm at 11k miles. I will be doing the rotation myself and wondering if I should do 5 tire rotation or just stick to 4 tire to avoid damaging differential due to the difference between the new spare and the others.

my tread remaining is as follows:

Spare NEW 15/32
Rear Drivers (12/32 on the outer edge and 14/32 on the inner)
Front Drivers (12/32 on the outer edge and 14/32 on the inner)
Front Passenger (11/32 on the outer edge and 13ish/32 on the inner)
Rear Passenger (12/32 on the outer edge and 14/32 on the inner)

I was thinking if it's possible to still do the 5 tire rotation, I should remove passenger front since it's the most worn tire. I will be inflating my tires back up to 32psi to help with the uneven wear.

I would guess that you'd be fine. The total difference between the spare and lowest ties is 4/32, so 1/8"- overall the Jeep wouldn't notice it.

You are ok to do it with only 11K miles on the others. After 44K more miles they will all be the same size.

Thank you guys, I will keep the spare in rotation 2 cycles to try and even it with he rest
