Do you rotate your spare into the mix when rotating tires?

[CarbonSteel]

Yes; every 5K since it was new in conjunction with an oil change. I upgraded to 35's about 4,984 miles ago, their first rotation is due next week.

Do 5-tire rotations. What good is a new/unused spare tire that is dry rotting over time? Get use out of all 5 tires and buy 5 new tires when this set wears out.

Makes rotating easier if you don’t have a shop. Only 1 corner off the ground at a time.

I do the five tire rotation as well. 20% more tire life......maybe but I spent 20% more to get a matching spare! I do it just to keep everything the same.

I got my tires used where only 4 have been used. Can I introduce the 5th now with the others been worn by 30k km?

You should still be in the game. That’s just shy of 19k miles. That’s 2-3 rotations in dog years.

So I just checked my tire treads and they are anywhere from about 7/15 to 8/15...can I still introduce my spare?

Thanks

fif...teenth?
That's not metric or imperial.
interesting.

But yeah, a fifteenth..or a sixteenth (I'm guessing) is completely fine.
