<STRIKE>I take the spare and put it on the drivers side front. (just to have a starting point) Take the driver side front and put it on the drivers side rear. Drivers side rear then goes up on the passenger side front which then goes on passenger side rear which ends up being the spare till next time.</STRIKE>

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">Need to edit/correct the above, (head was up ass when I wrote it the first time) I put the spare to drivers side front, that one then goes to passenger rear, it then goes to passenger front which goes to drivers rear and it ends up as the spare.

After reading DrG's post below was when I caught my mistake, the X pattern way of rotation does in effect make two of the tires rotate in the opposite direction and that helps to even out the heel/toe he brought up below in his post that does happen to the tires. Sorry for the bad info.</span>

I rotate them every oil change. The truck has about 42,000 miles on it and the tires are wearing pretty even from what I can tell.
