7 tire dually rotation

Just spent an hour and a half looking through the manual (which is useless) and searching online, trying to figure out a rotation that involves the spare tire. Using the spare seems to make sense to me. keep all the tires with the same wear and get the lifespan from the spare instead of wasting it.
What are your thoughts? And patterns? Thanks.

I have never rotated a spare in and never had an issue pulling the spare and using it. Usually the tire store will check it if you ask so it stays inflated and in good shape. The issue I have rotating the spare in is that by the time you rotate for the first time you introduce a tire with more tread than any other tire. I just rotate from the inside of the dually, move it to the outside, the outside to the front ans the front to the inside of the dually. Just my opinion, others will probably have something different.

I complain enough after having to buy 6 tires...7 no thank you!

I just keep my Michelins together and rotate around the truck every 6-8000 miles.

Honestly I sold my stock General spare and bought a used Michelin for it....!
