    Survey lang.. Nung sa casa ko dinadala yung sasakyan ko hindi nila sinama yung spare, kaya hindi ko na din ni-rotate later on.. Any pros and cons?

    Big Con -- it's a waste of spare. I mean, the spare tire is also brand new, and by not using it in rotation, you're just letting it "rot".

    Yun din naisip ko. Sayang lang yung spare tire kung di mo gagamitin.

    Shorter life span. Mileage accumulates faster on the tires being used.

    Doesn't dry rot kill tires faster than tread wear?

    It does, but it's preventable.

    sayang naman tire kung hindi gagamitin.
    but some used car buyers do like to see an un-used spare tire...

    If the tire is of same size with that of the others, it must be included in the rotation as well.

    Some car manufacturers though equipt spare ones that are not - simply to be used as spares just to bring a flattened tire for patching or repair to nearest available tire shop.

    Any tire used or not must be replaced possibly within 5 years due to the high rubber content - unless it's for the older public utility vehicle types where nylon component is higher with road grip sacrifice ��

Do you include the spare tire when rotating tires?
