Tires for Dually
I just bought a 2011 F350 Dually. It is all stock with OEM General Grabber 245/75R17 on the rear. I will need to replace the rears soon. This is my first heavy truck, I have heard that Nitto is goo...

I rotated my Dually tires. Was there a reason not too?
I did inside tires to front, outside tires to inside on the opposing side and the fronts to the opposit outside back.
Thanks
What you want to avoid is changing the direction of the tire. Once tires take a lay, the belts in the sidewall shift slightly. If you change that to a reverse direction, you allow for sidewall bubbles and potential failure.
If you can rotate your wheels so that the tires don't change direction of rotation...then you're set. I couldn't do that without dismounting and remounting them on wheels. With aluminum wheels, you're stuck.
Pablum! Radials can be reversed without a problem. Offhand: any tire has a 50% chance of being reversed when it is capped...and radials have been recapped for 20+ years!
