This ones going to be open and shut.

We rotated the tires on sweet pea today. Stock Rubi 255/75R17s.

We did the 5 tire rotation.

Some people do a 4 tire rotation, excluding their spare. Only because its easier. This is a mistake. Heres why -

1. You may want to use a different tire brand in the future,
2. You may want a different tire SIZE in the future.
3. if you get a blowout 20k miles into your tires, you will have uneven tread from one side to the other, when you have half tread on one tire, and full on the opposite side. This makes it difficult to make them all wear evenly.

When you only rotate 4 and save the spare as new, your cheating yourself out of 20% of the overall longevity of your tires.

When you wear out your 4 tires, and have one new one, whats next? Kinda forces you to stay with the same brand and size, AND make you buy those tires earlier.
