Re: 5 tire rotation

My 97 CC SLT with the tire and handling package has a bit over 12000 miles now so I've had the tires rotated twice. Two different places did it and I asked them to rotate all 5 both times. Neither mentioned that it might be a problem nor have I noticed any any unusual drifting or handling problem.

So I just brought my truck in for 1st real service (6000 mi).
I changed the oil/filter at 3000 miles.

I have a 97 slt with tire & handling package, so the spare
is like the other tires. I asked the guy to rotate all 5 tires.
He said that what happens is that the wear pattern (I actually
have 8000 mi.) would cause the truck to drift by putting the
unused spare into use. Doesn't the manual have a 4 and 5 tire
rotation pattern? Should I have insisted? I haven't noticed
any wear on the tires, and the truck rides straight...
