How often or ever should the tires be rotated on a c ?
Just wandering if any of you rotate the tires on your c's or do you ever ?

I rotate mine when they get re-balanced.
I have short curved valve stem extenders that I use on the outer duals, it gets moved at rotation time so it is always on the outer duals.
My pattern: same side
Fronts to outer duals
Outer duals to inner duals
inner duals to front.
Granted, rotating outer to inner dual does little, but I like to give every tire a little front-end time.
I have the same short stems on all 6 tires; I have a long necked straight tire gauge that reaches the inner dual. When adding air to the inner dual, I have a short length of hose that I use to remove the cap, then with a hose w/ fittings from a valve stem extender kit, I can add air as necessary.
Simple, inexpensive, and works for me.
I've checked and added a small amount of air to the original spare. It is not weatherchecked so will serve in an emergency. So far we've never had a flat on the road, but I did need to pull the front wheel once when the front-end fell apart in Arches Nat'l park due to incompetent service that "aligned" my front-end. They paid for that service...
As most have said, they never rotate. That works too.
