not that there is many around but Costco do free balance and rotate for life of tyres
Personaly I wouldn't buy 5 new tyres not because it cost more but just that its not really required,
a spare is just that a spare to get you somewhere ,where you can get the damaged tyre repaired.
Ive never brought 5 tyres and expect I never will and been 4x4ing for a long while now,
Ideally my spare will have 50% tread and same size and similar tread.
once repaired the tyres can be changed back over when it is convenient.
I like all my tyres to be the same...... the spare might only be a spare but at least its a spare of the same
Same here. My spare is in the rotation.Quote:

I would rotate all 5. I run 2 sets,roadies and muddies and they get changed frequent enough I don't keep track what goes where.
Yeah I forgot to mention my spare was in the rotationQuote:

I like to be different, Hell, what am I saying, I am different.
Just ask anyone who's met me.
I run a 6 tyre rotation.
It's a hangover from running directional tyres (Procomps)
For non-directional
Fronts go left to right
Rears go left to right
Spare stays as a spare and 6th is a carcass for really out of the way trips
When the first pair are down enough I buy 2 more and they become spare and carcass and the originals go on the truck
Been rotating tyres for years.
Each time I change from roadies to muddied they get marked with a paint pen.
Then moved one spot clockwise including the spares on the 6 roadies / outback trip AT's.
The MT's spare has never been roaded so is not included.
When I buy a new set I will get 3 so 4 new tyres on the road IYKWIM.
