5-tire rotation pattern

I have matching spare that I'd like to work into the rotation. I found this illustration from Tirerack.com. Anyone else follows this or have any other suggestions?

 

Just got 5 new tires 4k miles ago.....I'll be doing the rotation from the first pic. Seems easier to remember LOL

 

I initially did the rotation on the right with my Jeep. I actually printed the picture out and laminated it, kept it in the console with my tire pressure gauge and valve stem tool.

Towards the end my jeep days, I think I just rotated counter clock wise. It was quick and easy to do in the garage or driveway with just one floor jack. Pull the spare off, walk to the right, continue until you're remounting the spare. Additionally if I got lazy and had a shop rotate my tires it was easier to explain the rotation pattern. In my opinion it really doesn't matter what pattern you use, just stick to it so the tires all hit each positions equally, and rotate them frequently.

The main thing those other rotation patterns do is prevent you from running a tire up front for two cycles, where they usually get the most abnormal wear. Rear wheel drive rigs normally flatten and smooth the tires back out on the rear axle. I guess if you're seeing more abnormal wear up front, one of the pictured rotations may keep your tires in better shape and riding more smoothly.
