I agree, but I consider my spare only a spare, once I've worn 5 highway
tires to the replacement point.
My worn spare will only be used as a temporary fix until the damaged
tire can be fixed or replaced, with the vehicle driven with that in
mind. This is the same thinking as if the spare were a donut. A UV
protectant and a cover can slow the effects of UV damage.
Off-road, things are completely different. At that point, extra tires
are fully usable, extra tires. <G>

Re: Tire Rotation?
Mabar is right!!
if you rotate the 5th you'll get a good 10 to 20K Km more mileage out of
them and if they are an offroad tire should be rotated frequently...I rotate
every oil change...

Re: Tire Rotation?
Thanks, the dealer has been rotating my 4 tires every other
oil change. I'll have to see if the spare is in good enough
shape to include next time. I once bought a whole set of
dry-rotted tires so I know _that_ drill:^(
