how do *you* rotate your tires?

[10JQKA]

how do you rotate your tires?

front <--> rear, side <--> side, crossing over (forward/rearward), or X-pattern?

and how do you fit your matching full-size spare into the mix?

D

and if I bothered to rotate the spare, I'd just add it into Left or Right side.
No side to side rotation.

D-for my winter tires (Blizzaks with directional tread)

A-for my summer tires (Duler HT's) and I include spare in the right rear position.

A. I have a mismatched spare, so I don't include it in the rotation.

A on my 3 4Xs. C on the wife's Accord.

I do a 5 tire rotation to keep everything evened out. I'd only do a 4 tire rotation if I were not full-time 4wd.

Front to back...always.

B, D...then repeat

D for 5th gen because spare doesn't have TPMS and D including spare for 4th gen.
