Five tire rotation?

Hey does anyone do a five tire rotation? If so, what do you do for the TPMS? Is there a way to have all five tires with a TPMS and then tell the truck to ignore the spare or something?

Side question, anyone have opinions in the Toyo Open Country M/T?

Unless your truck has base steel wheels, a 5 tire rotation is problematic as your spare won't match the 4 on the ground.

I purchased a matching wheel and tire for a spare, it also has the TPMS. it does not interfere with the 4 tires running on truck. Not sure what happens if I used the spare and take out a running wheel.... does the TPMS get dropped and picks up the new one? IDK either way the truck will drive

Do you rotate in the fifth tire during your tire rotations or do you just keep it new in case of a blowout?

I bought a matching #5 wheel for my spare. It’s easy to reprogram the TPMS after you rotate the spare in. You will just need a little tool that looks like a garage door opener.

A five tire rotation would be a hassle and frankly, unnecessary.

Not a hassle at all, in fact it’s more convenient.

1. If a tire is destroyed (it’s happened on every one of my past vehicles - city life) I have a spare with the same level of wear that I can just swap in.

2. When rotating tires I jack up one corner and put the spare on. Move to another corner, move, move.

The Jeep community always cycles in the spare with the others. Its not uncommon.

As far as the Toyo M/T's I have them on my truck and they are just as good as the A/T's I use to run. Ran them through the snow a couple of months ago up in Yellowstone, never had to use the chains. Had BFG's before that, now I'm a Toyo guy.

I do not rotate the spare..I go front to back and back to front. No crossing. Just my way of doing things.
