Spare Tire Rotation
 

Does anyone rotate their spare into the mix? If so how often, just go clockwise or something like that?

I do this also about every 5000mi

Cool thanks

Unless you have MTRs, then the one that doesn't balance stays as the spare :)

Ha! One of my MTRs was gonna take 32oz to balance. It wasn't possibly so that thing is going between spare and the rear at rotations... Bleeping up the rotation...

I use a different pattern because I like the tires changing direction every time.


But not rotating in the spare is a waste because a tire has a shelf life...it's use it or lose it. And as a bonus it adds about 20% additional life. However, that is lost when you have to buy 5 replacements...lol

Not really lost. You buy 5 tires, but less often than you would have to buy 4 tires.

True, Ron. Sure beats throwing one away. But if you carry your spare around for 5 tire changes, then it's a wash? I'm not sure because it gets confusing. If you have to buy your tires 20% earlier but you only have to buy 80% of your tires well then...hmmmm...let me see...carry the one...:banghead:...aw hell I don't know. :dontknow2:

Right !
