bulletWhen I rotate my Tyres, should I include the spare or just rotate the 4 road wheels?
This matter usually creates a great deal of earnest discussion from parties with opposing points of view. Generally speaking the Industry recommends that the spare wheel (excluding temporary spare wheels) is included in your tyre rotation schedule. The rationale behind this is that including the spare wheel will usually extend the useful life of the tyres before replacement is necessary. The second reason is that tyre technology is constantly improving and if the spare tyre is not replaced at the same time as the other tyres it may not have the same level of performance as the new road tyres that are fitted to the vehicle. This could result in unpredictable tyre performance during wet weather or vehicle handling irregularities when the tyre is running on the road.
