Hey Friend, good to see you here!
Ford doesn't suggest rotating the rear tires. I have the same ordinary valves on Spare, Left and Right Front, so I rotate Spare to Left, Left to Right, Right to Spare. More to get a little service out of the Spare before it ages out unused.
Starting to think I might cross the rears sometime. The Right Rear Outer is the most likely to hit debris on the road or clip a curb on a turn. The Right Rear Inner leads a very hard life. On Ford it's next to hot exhaust. More importantly, any time we drop the Outer off the pavement, the Inner takes on most of the load that was being shared by the pair. So maybe putting them on the Left awhile could make sense.
REALLY GOOD extenders/adapters could afford total flexibility and a number of us value that, enough to take different approaches to valves.
