The way I see it, 5 tire rotation will end up about the same price in the long run but will increase the tread life overall by around 20%.

Ideally you think you'll rotate 5 tires and have longer tire life for all 5, but in reality you'll wind up with 3 relatively new tires and 2 with weird wear that need to be replaced. Also tire dealers HATE to sell tires in odd numbers, so most deals/sales apply to tires bought in sets of 4 (this also sucks for people who own cars that have bigger tires in the back).
