I include the spare into the rotation as well - may as well wear them all down the same and replace all 5 when they need it. Some prefer to keep the spare pristine - YMMV
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Isn't that like the Mirthmobile?
One of my friends in high school had one.

I rotate mine when I put studded tires on and when i put summer tires on. Seasonal Bingo. Yep,softer tires like snow tread,I rotate every 3000, but it usually works out seasonal too.I never had directional.Fronts go straight back rears get crossed.

I quit buying tires from Sam's and Wal-Mart when they wouldn't honor the warranty on a set of General Grabber STX tires that they installed on one of my Mountaineers. They were worn down to the wear bars in 23 months, 39,000 miles, and were rotated 6 times at an average of 5,758 miles between rotations.
Since then it has been Discount Tire for all of my tire needs. They are a little more expensive, but they have great customer service.

how often to rotate depends. go by the mfg rec. the kind of wear you describe is alignment. the hub bearing contributed to that.
is this a truck? if so how aggressive is the tread design? could be a factor.

KISS principle - oil change at 5000 miles, tire rotation at 5000 miles.
Doing this I get 45000 - 50000 out of the 10 ply tires tires on Ram 1500.

Cheap ass tires and cheap ass dealers.
Dunno about Sams Club, but I've had really good luck with Discount Tire, both the tires themselves and the service part. Outstanding in fact.

My spare is 17 years old, doubt it's ever been used! wouldn't trust in on the hwy @ 60 mph & up here, you'd never be able to get that spare done, when/if you needed it ! About 2 customers every month - "cut that spare down & throw it in my box please" !
