How often do you rotate tires?
Just read the thread where a guy was complaining about terrible tire life with general tires. I have a 1 ton dually 2 wheel drive 2007 Dodge Ram and I get 80,000-85,000 miles out of the General tires....

One is supposed to rotate tires?!?!?!? you must have the same tread front and rear then eh! My single wheel rigs I rotate, BOTH duallies have traction on the rear, and a hwy on the front. Not too good to rotate in that kinda use. ALong with the fronts are a different size width wise than the rears. Same diam, So I suppose I could run the wider ones on the rear with the skinny ones.........
I also heard a rumour I am supposed to balance the rear duals too!?!?!?!????? hmmmmmm, or trailer tires also! hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I run steer front and rear on my F550. My sons shop runs them that way on their tow trucks also F550's and get 75 to 80K out of them. As far as rotating it's not a good thing on a Dually. Rears should be same diamiter if not 1 tire is carrying more of the load. Rotatingthe fronts to the back assures you have an unmatched set.
