Why rotate your tires? Primary reason is to provide even wear and extend their useful life. If you are worried enough to rotate your tires, it just seems odd that you guys would not include the spare. I have always rotated the spare in the mix. To not do so, seems more like a case of laziness. When I buy new tires, even if they were the same brand, I still want them all to manufactured within the same time frame.

Happy holidays to you all, and be safe (no matter which rotation pattern you end up using).

 

Not a lazy bone in my body. I hate that when 3 of my tires were made 24-30 monthsafter the 4th one?

Being this one of the few vehicles with a "real" spare you can rotate through then I would. I just think if you don't and when you get replacements or upgrade you have wasted your moneys worth.

 

I already have 35' Mickey Thompson MTZ's I upgraded with less then 1K miles on the truck, so I think the spare will still where it's at.

 

I don't rotate my spare because the rim doesn't match.....

I agree w/KS Trekker, Plus back in the day I remember rotating my spare like my Dad always did. I think we got spoiled by Donuts. And if your spare doesn't match and I mean in size, you'll be driving down the road with a slight slant, different tread pattern, could pull a little, stress your suspension if you have to go any distance, Looks funny, andyou would have to move it to the rear if the flat was in the front, so now you have more work to do when you get the flat on the road, not safe on the highways today.
