Do you rotate your spare?

Do you rotate your spare?
I recently upgraded to some Nitto Trail Grapplers and it is getting close to tire rotating time.
Do you include your spare in the rotation or just leave it on there?
FYi- i did get all 5 tires... i never really understood the mismatched spare idea.

All five here too.
I keep a diagram of the rotation pattern in the glove box so I don't forget which way the tires get moved.
I also write the date and millage on it.

I follow the "G" pattern from Tire Rack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=43
Like a previous poster I too printed out the "G" graphic and added a date, mileage and notes columns to the sheet. I leave this with the locking lug nut key.

I rotated five the first cycle. Since we all off-road our Jeeps :-), all of us are smart enough to know that you replace tires well before they reach treadware indicators (treadware indicators are for highway use only). I then save best two tires, which by definition have plenty of life for "emergency/spare" usage. After that I buy four new tires, and rotate those four. Easier for me than having to manhandle spare off carrier. Spares are always saved from most recent tires off Jeep, avoiding "dry rot" problem. This works for me because I'm happy with 35" Duratracs.
