I included the spare tire when I did a 5 tire rotation last week. Otherwise I haven't needed it yet.

my vehicle was used when i purchased it, it had a curb rash on one wheel and a really ugly gauge in the tire that i did not like, so i stuck a new tire on one wheel and threw the spare on to replace the wheel with the rash, this way i got a new rim and 2 new tires for one tire price.

Bob.....

I also prefer a five wheel rotation. However, I always get the wheels chromed or buy the car with chromed wheels.

They only chrome four of them. When I complain, they tell me that it is an Industry Standard to do only four wheels.

I have heard CL GX owners state that they have Factory Chromes. I wonder if in that case, all five wheels are chromed ??

I had a nail in my driver side front tire and had to use the spare. The spare was taken off after I had the tire fixed and was put away. The spare was DIRTY as hell, I guess just being under the truck all the time. Anyway, I cleaned the rim before I put the spare away. Pretty simple to take out the spare and put away.
