The system will relearn (eventually) the position of the tyres. It should take 10 minutes after a 20 minute park up but is a bit unreliable sometimes

good to know ML, I have been observing the BFG KM3s' fitted on my JB74W and the tread wear all around after 20K km was ~1mm

I think I will do a 5 tyre rotation setup. Maybe every 7500km to be on the safe side.

Rotating four will be the easiest, but 5 will ensure that all wear reasonably evenly and should give me some additional mileage since all are being used.

I use a five tyre rotation for 2 reasons:

1. The spare needs to be rotated in to the mix otherwise it becomes too old and the compound goes hard with age.
2. I use M/T's and after a while the blocks start to wear unevenly. Rotating helps the tread blocks to wear evenly.
