Do you mean the rotation direction of the tires?
Most all tire treads feather to some extent, front or rear, and rotating to the opposite side of the vehicle changes the tire rotation direction and smooths out the feathering of the tread (and then it begins to Feather the other direction).
Agree on a dually, leave rears alone or maybe swap them side to side once or twice depending on tire life to correct the feathering on the tread, but certainly not as important as fronts or srws with less rubber on the ground.
Leave rears as I mentioned. I have never had uneven wear in rears.
When done the right tire will be on the left with the inside on the outside same for left to right. If you simply move tires AND wheels side to side the outside edge is still on the outside edge. I have them leave the wheels in same location to avoid any re learning of what sensor is where.
When finished the fronts are still rotating the same direction.
