Replacing Tires on my GMC
My tow vehicle is a 2017 GMC 2500HD. The original tires are Firestone LT225/75R17, they only have 23000 miles. I have rotated these tires at every oil change approx. every 5000 miles. All four tires ...

5 tire rotation doesn't get you any more miles per tire or miles per dollar unless you're literally banking on the value of that cheap factory spare tire. It does do a good job of complicating tire rotations though.
The one upside is if you have a 1 wheel peel vehicle and can't keep from wearing the right rear tire more than the other rear tire. Then a 5 tire technically makes a bit more sense and cents.
Not using the cheap spare. Sold it with the wheel. Have a matching wheel and tire.
So what's the attraction or advantage to a 5 tire rotation, save for maybe on a Jeep with expensive oversize spare tire sitting in the sun getting cooked?
