I've been doing them since 2009.

It's like a 4-tire rotation but with 20% more tires.

Yeah. Then there's folks doing it with the nearly 90 lbs. each Sasquatch wheel/tires and, oh, yeah, the even heavier Raptor 37s.

On the bright side, I recently had to replace one while the other four are about 35-40% worn. So I'll only be doing four tire rotations for the rest of their life and keeping the newest as a dedicated spare.

I do mine one at a time. And I jack it up just barely enough to get the tire off, so I don't have to lift the tire to get it on. No jack stands needed. Now getting the spare on the tailgate, that's a challenge for an old man. I figured out how to use a patio chair to prop the tire on so I can bear hug it and lift the rest of the way.

sooo, you have a spare, so lift one wheel at a time replace with spare, lower, lift next, replace with wheel you just took off, repeat, no need to remove all wheels at the same time.

So what you're saying is ****getting the spare tire off and on is no joke.

I don’t understand the point of rotation. When I drive the tires are rotating all the time.

The beauty of the 5 tire rotation is you don't need to use jack stands, unless you just want to stretch out the job so you don't have to do something else.

Make sure you completely disassemble your engine for oil changes.

More work imho doing it one at a time. I just jack up front, throw jacks under. Jack up rear, repeat. No need for lugging around the jack. How I do it "looks" cumbersome but way more efficient. Working smart, not hard. Soon to be 51 and this took 2 shakes!

You all wild lugging around your jack and doing it one at a time.
