  I'd be happy to. First, we'll count the spare, so that's 1, then
picture yourself walking around the truck and just count the tires.
(I'll even give you a visual aid; a cool ASCII graph) ;-)

        Tire | Running total
      --------|-----------------
        Spare | 1
    left rear | 2
   right rear | 4
  right front | 5
   left front | 7

   Total = 7. The math may seem intimidating at first, but for my
college educated self, its as easy as 1, 2, 4.

  Hopefully this will clear up the situation. :-)
