I rotated my spare with my JK, I ended up getting 75000 miles out of a set of cooper ATP 33's rated for 60,000 miles. Others may not have had the same luck but I'm a believer.
I can't tell if you're joking, but... there's no luck involved. Each tire still wore out at 60,000 miles.
The vehicle went 75,000 miles on 5 tires. Each tire was used 4/5 of the time. 75k * (4/5) = 60k.
Put another way, you replaced 5 tires at 75,000 miles instead of 4 at 60,000. Just for yucks we'll say each tire cost $100. $500 @ 75,000 miles = 150 miles per dollar spent on tires. $400 @ 60,000 miles = 150 miles per dollar spent on tires...
Which isn't to say it's a bad idea, I'd agree it's a GOOD idea. But it only makes your tires last longer in days, not miles.
