The correct answerHere's my cheat sheet. I also include torque values and socket size so I don't have to spend a lot of time on it each time I rotate...

Not to mention, a 5-tire rotation is just easier to do. You only need to raise one corner at a time. No jackstands or multiple jacks needed...

Were talking full size standard tire not a donut thats intended for minimal use. Even tho the spare may have good tread it will still dry rot over time from weather. Also what if someone intends to change tires and run a different brand or size? Then you have a mismatched spare or wasted money on a 5th tire.

If people would read the owners manual they would see it clearly says 5 tire rotation with instructions. No excuse not to do it unless youre just cheap or lazy.

Isn't it ironic... Someone asks a question and the gallery goes off with comments like "didn't you read the owners manual", etc.
And on this topic? They are like: "Who cares what the owners manual says..."
Well, here is the quote from the owners manual:
"For the best tire life, a five tire rotation is recommended that includes the matching spare tire mounted on the back of the vehicle."
Nothing further needs to be said...

Wow... Such hostility talking about tire rotations. Let's change the subject to abortion or affirmative action to calm things down a bit.

Rubber still ages. A lot states require tires to be replaced every 5-6yrs for them to pass their state inspections. Yes Im aware of 303 but its not a common product most stores carry. Its not recommended to put any kind of chemicals on a tire. And good for you on having a garage (I do too) but if youre like me and drive 18k mi a year its gonna spend more time out of than in.
Moto has the correct pattern.
Honestly, all I really care about is that the spare rotates into the right rear position, as the right rear gets the most wear since it is the main drive wheel.

No kidding, I had over 50% tread life left on the tires on my Expedition when I sold it. Tires were 6 years old, heavily cracked, and probably unsafe to use on the freeway. (Wasn't going to spend money on tires when I was trading it for the Bronco)
With my new job, my commute went down to 34 miles a day instead of 60. (round trip). I'll do a 5-tire rotation on the Bronco, but mostly to keep the wear even, I fully expect them to age out before they wear out.
