5 tire rotation?
Anyone with a full size spare doing a 5 tire rotation with brand new tires? I would think that one tire will always be just a tiny bit bigger or is the difference in size insignificant?
Any suggestions would be great as I do want my new SSR's to last me as long as possible... I figured I would rotate before every trip (hopefully at least once a month if not more). Is that too much for a vehicle that will NOT be a daily driver? Should I even bother?

Here's TireRack's recommendation:

I guess rotating them once a month on a non-DD should do the trick then?
It says every 3-5000 miles, at about the same time you do your oil changes. This is what I think won't apply with swampers because from what I've read, they wear a lot quicker.

Thanks 4Crawler, I was looking at that earlier, just wasn't sure if the difference in tire size off the full size spare was giong to be significant enough to worry about due to the fact off-road tires (like SSR's) do wear a bit quicker than normal street tires.
