I check wear and roatate accordingly. On my car, the fronts wear faster than the rears, and the rights wear faster than the left. So the "best" tire goes right front, the second-worst left back and the worst goes to spare.
Now if one had to introduce a new tyre (same brand)to a set of four which is already slightly worn, would it be better to put the new tyre front (right) or rather at the back. (In order to include the new tyre in the rotation.)

I was also wondering about keeping new tyre on the same spot and just rotate the other four, vs. rotating the new but let it skip going to the spare when its turn arise... :think:

Put it in wherever you see the most wear. On my car, that is right rear but on a car as well balanced as an empty GQ it will depend on driving style.
