you'll be happy doing all 5, also provides a check on the spare to make sure it has air and no other issues. nothing sucks worse than having to use the spare and it's flat...

I rotate all five. May as well use them all and get a little more mileage out of'em. I also figure that when I get new tires I'll probably get bigger tires or a different kind. Then i'd be getting rid of a tire that's never been used. Seems like a waste.

It's also easier to do a 5-tire rotation yourself (only 1 tire lifted at a time) than a 4-tire rotation.
