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 steers on all 6 on my F550. My sons shop runs them that way on their tow trucks 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.
I agree!
The most I would think of doing is side to side on the front and side to side on the outside duals.
