Default New Tires for GS430 set of 4 or 5

I need to buy a new set of tires for a 2001 GS430 I am looking at the Michelin Pilot A/S but is there any benefit to buying 5 tires as opposed to 4?

Default 5 vs. 4

The benefit to buying five is that you can work your spare into the rotation. Surprisingly, very few people actually do this though.

I am still on the factory set of Goodyear Eagles and the spare is part of the rotation. I just wonder if there is any real reason (maybe factory rotation specs) other than additional life span. at $200.00 a tire a set of 5 pilots is not cheap.
