I have thought my wheel bearings had gone bad due to some noise with every rotation - turned out a tire rotation fixed it. It sure is a simple way of maintaining your runner.

I do mine "X" fashion....front driver's side to rear passenger's side, and vice-versa.

I have two sets of wheels/tires, one summer and one winter. I rotate each set when they are installed for the season. I use a 5-tire rotation for the original Bridgestone H/T's, and a 4-tire rotation for the winter REVO's. I follow the rotation sequence that Bridgestone recommends on their site.

I do my oil change & 5-Wheel rotation at 5,000 miles.
**use this diagram if you do NOT have directional tires**
5-Wheel Rotation Diagram
Five Tire Rotation Pattern:
The 4th generation 4Runner comes equipped with a full size spare tire mounted on a matching full size aluminum alloy wheel. I have upgraded the spare tire as well to a 32" Bridgestone A/T Revo tire. The one inch larger than factory P265/70/R17 tire does fit in the stock spare location.
A Five tire rotation pattern results in equally distributed use that will help maintain equivalent tread depths on all five tires throughout their life. When applied to the 4Runners full time four wheel drive system (all wheel drive is standard with the V-8 engine option), this will prevent driveline damage if a flat tire forces a spare to be put into service with partially worn tires on the other three wheel positions.
By rotating the spare into the pattern, you accomplish a secondard benefit of extending the other tires life a little longer and getting useage out of the spare. Remember, tires have a shelf life and do dry out after many years. You may as well get some use out of the spare rather than discarding it unused when your main four tires wear out.
I have chosen to rotate my tires every 5,000 miles using the pattern shown below. The spare will be inserted in the passenger side rear position at each rotation. Place the tire that would have gone to the right rear in the spare location until the next tire rotation.

Use the pattern above if you do NOT have directional tires.

My 4runner is new to me so I've never rotated them yet, then I found out the owner before me put 40,000 miles on them without any rotation so they're long overdue. Prob won't worry about it though b/c I plan to get new tires soon anyways
