OK I have heard of a few different ways people were rotating their tires with including their spare in the mix now what im trying to figure out is how?? In our manuals it only shows for using the 6 and I want to add the spare in the mix cause well why have it sit??

Also I have heard that in the Chevy dually manual they actually show how to do the 7 wheel rotate but I havent had any luck finding out that info..

I have heard the spare going in the like all four locations besides the inner rear??

Anyone know how the 7 wheel rotation is done?? TIA!

 

not sure how the 7 tire is done. i am just doing the 6 and when it is time for new ones i will only have to buy 5 and will keep the best of the six i replace as my spare.

 

Yeah I thought of something like that since I highly doubt that the tire would be dry rotted or bad by the time I need new tires (I put on around 5k miles a month) but I just figured to keep it in rotation so its wearing with the others so if/when I get a blow out it wouldnt be a huge difference from the rest of the tires especially if I have to put it on the rear.

 

i replace my ties at Discount Tire and i purchase the road hazard warranty on them. if one were to go bad i am pretty sure it would not be the "spare".

 

true, yeah I also have the hazard on my tires as well.

 

actually, when i bought the new 06 last fall i went to discount and purchased the road hazard warranties on the oem tires. can't remember for sure but seems like it was like 150.00 for them.
had one flat they repaired and have had them rotated 5 times so far at no cost.

 

Yeah I thought about that as well all these places seem to offer free rotations with tires yet Firestone didnt?? Or they do and I wasnt notified of it? I am going to give them a call and see..
