Tire rotation with duals

I don't rotate the tires by position, as most others, since their lifespan is not limited by treadwear in any way.

I do rotate the tires around their axis every single time I move the motorhome; failing to do so leads to very rapid and uneven treadwear (and very bad gas milage). :B

I just got back from the tire store an hour or so ago to price out a set of tires, as chance would have it. I probably would have waited another year, but had an unfortunate incident with a curb that put a nice deep divot in a sidewall...so rather than have a single mismatched tire to contend with (and trying to figure out how to distribute the others sensibly), I figured it was time. The tread still looks practically new.

No, I don't rotate them regularly or at all. They're wearing nice and evenly back there.

I rotate the front tires with the spare to give the spare some use. The rear duals stay where they are until new tires are needed.

Most people don't rotate, nor even have them rebalanced.

However, not being most people, I rotate when I have 'em rebalanced at around and interval of 10Kmiles. As the '99 ford chassis has identical wheels on all 6 positions, I rotate thus:
Left front to left outside dual
Left outside dual to left inside dual
Left inside dual to left front

Likewise for the right side.

This article has good info and a good pic of dually rotation and also puts your spare into the mix if you want to.

I'm like others and will "age" age out first.

I have rotated side to side but decided it was not worth it so I have quit doing this.

Never

Considering that the tires will age out long before they wear out, I don't rotate my tires.

The two duallies I have owned seemed to wear the rear tires pretty flat and evenly, so I saw no reason to rotate them. The front tires I would rotate side-to-side if I thought they needed it.

:):)

Only move them side-to-side so that they run in reverse rotation.
Given the nature of the rims, a full rotation would require taking the tires off the rims.
And that's just asking for trouble X6 - especially when some mechanic is doing it for you.
I ran 80,000 miles on the first set of tires doing it that way. Not planning to change now.
