I have been told that for at least some tires, radials, that they should
never be changed to the opposite rotation, as would be neccessary if you
were to rotate the spare thru.  This appears to be true with the brand new
tires on my sedan, as told to me by the manager at the tire shop.  something
about delamination if you reversed the rotation after the tire has "set".  I
suppose you could rotate the spare on one side only, but you would not be
getting the full life out of the spare and the other side would still wear
1/3rd quicker.  I would like to do this on my westy but have not, because of
this advice.

flame on..
