i think it's all a personal preference thing... but if you choose to add it into your rotation.. always keep it to the same side of the vehicle, i use the passenger side... spare to the rear... rear to front.. front to spare... some tires are more sensitive to direction changes than others so i just treat them all as if it matters...

hmmmm I think I'd leave it off..... theoretically if you put it on, you will always end up with one tire of the "wrong" height so if you got traction devices and you end up running with that tire you will get "weird" results at times. On the other hand if you end up loosing a tire and have to replace it for a new one, you will have one to match the other one....

Mike, this is old info. That's the way it was written in my '88 owners' manual, but times have changed. That was a result of American tire manufacturers having belt separation problems when they first started making radials, and they blamed it on changing the direction of rotation. They've finally got their act together (somewhat, at least) and now the owners' manuals recommend a regular 5-tire 'X' rotation.
