Rotating tires

Guy's,

It is time for me to rotate the tires on the Jeep.

Do you guy's think I should rotate the spare tire and start rotating all 5 of 'em" Or just rotate the 4 tires that I am using now, so when it is time to buy new tires, I'd only have to buy 4, instead of 5?

I'd like some feedback on that.

rotate them in to the mix.

I'm rotating mine this weekend too. And I'm definitely doing a 5 tire rotation. I paid a buttload of money for these tires, and I'm damn sure going to get the most out of them. Rotating in the spare means 20% more life. So that could actually amount for 10k-15k more life, or in other words, an extra year!

Plus, if I want to go with a different tire next time, I won't have a mis-matched spare

def introduce your spare. I didn`t, and now I have too much tread gone to throw it in the mix. What a waste.

Never rotate them. Too lazy.

We do all our business with Discount tire and they highly recommend rotating them in.

Yeah, Since I bought mine from Discount, I have the lifetime balance and rotate. I'm going to definitely take advantage of that. Let their guys deal with rotating these heavy-ass 35's

Just hope they don't get bent out of shape when I come in and say: Balance and rotate all 5, do not use air tools when putting the lug nuts on, hand torque to 95lbs. And I want to supervise the process.

I didn't buy tires from Discount Tires, but you can buy that service from them anyway, not too expensive and well worth it.
Good call on the "no using air tools".

Thats the best argument I've heard for rotating tires.
