I don't recall seeing any recommendation for tire rotation in the owner's manual or Bentley service manual. So I have two questions:

1. If the tires are not rotated, which tires wear out first, or does one get lucky and see them all wear out at the same time?

2. If the tires are rotated, what is the best pattern? I've seen generic recommendations for a rearward cross pattern (RR->RF->LR->LF->RR or RR->RF->LR->LF->spare->RR) for RWD cars. I've also seen some recommendations to just do F<->R to keep radial tires on the same side of the car, although I have seen other recommendations saying that the reason for keeping radial tires on the same side of the car is no longer applicable to newer radial tires.

Assume a 200 wagon with normal tires (185R14, 195/75R14, or 205/70R14), if it matters.
