Remember 5 Tires?

This snow got me thinking. Remember full sized spares and snow tires. Cars had five tires.

You rotated spare into mix and put on snow tires every winter.

Was a pattern you followed so tires wore equally.

Every winter and spring my brother and I rotated parents tires in driveway

5 tires yes, but I grew up in Richmond and no one had or used snow tires.

My 1969 Plymouth I bought used in the 1980s from original owner came with 7 tires on 7 rims from factory.

I had four on car, one full sized spare and two full sized snow tires. I drive home with three full sized tires in trunk

I had to store the snow tires in summer and two regular tires in winter.

It had a complicated rotation of tires that was very complicated to ensure even wear all 7 tires. Even though car was 18 years old when got it. It had all 7 original tires with plenty of thread left as rotating 7 tires they last a long long time

Now that the RAV-4’s have buried the spare tire, I don’t think about it anymore, as opposed to how I did when it was in my face every day.

What’s your rotation pattern and, if you don’t do it yourself, how many damn times do you have to remind the service guy to rotate the spare in?
