Five tire rotation???

[thejacos]

I am not able to find the instruction of 5 tire rotation from Owner's Manual and I am not sure the stock tires (goodyear) are directional or non-directional. Can someone give me a point where can I find the instruction or tell me how to do it.

Thanks

The stock tires are junk, non-directional junk. The Pilot owner's manual does not include a 5 tire scheme because the standard spare is a 60 psi doughnut.

And to add to this - IF you had five that you wanted to rotate, it would be the same pattern as today ("X" forward - straight back), but the spare is used in place of the tire that would be the RR and the RR returns as the spare.

YMMV


EDITED to add:
I'm sure this pattern was based on conventional RWD vehicles and that the RR was typically the fastest wearing tire. It probably does not matter what position you put the spare in - as I don't think you will see the wear characteristics on a FWD or AWD vehicle like you used to see on old RWD ones. The main thing would be to pick a spot for the spare to enter the pattern and continue with that spot each time.
