Default Here are my current tread depths... what is the best way to rotate my five tires?

I have stock Rubi BFG MT's mounted on my sport. The dealership has been rotating the tires, but their 5 tire rotation pattern is different than the ones I have seen posted around here.

Here are my current tread depths:

.....driver front: 16/32..................passenger front: 14/32

.....driver rear: 15/32....................passenger rear: halfway between 13/32 to 14/32... so 27/64ths

.........................spare: 16/32.................................

edit: I decided not to overthink this... and moved the tires around so the wear was the most balanced using a modified the pattern on the left of the image below. I think it is safe to assume that my tires won't self-destruct showing a mess of uneven wear due to an improper rotation.


I am left with this after rotating:
.....driver front: 14/32..................passenger front: 15/32

.....driver rear: 16/32....................passenger rear: 16/32

.........................spare: halfway between 13/32 to 14/32... so 27/64ths.................................



My tires get rotated every 5 to 7 k miles, and have even wear. We will see what the wear looks like atthe next rotation.
