During 15 years we've owned a class A, have never rotated tires. We usually replace them around 7 years regardless of tread wear.You may get many and varied opinions on this issue.Best of luck and safe travels....:)

Since class A uses similar tires to a semi this is what I'd say. Check your steer tires they are probably different from your drive tires. If they are, unless you have a wear issue I'd not worry about it. If you have a wear issue I'd check a tire inflation and/or an alignment front and rear axles. once had an axle out of alignment (front drive) and until they aligned the whole truck it ate tires off that axle.A good tire shop can "read" the wear patterns and diagnose the problem.

I recommend rotating the tires every time you drive the RV. Preventing them from rotating causes very rapid and uneven tire wear and leaves ugly black marks on the pavement. :pSeriously, though, why bother rotating the tires if you, like the majority of motorhome owners, will be replacing them due to age rather than due to wear? You won't be extending their life in any useful way, and won't be saving yourself any money.If your usage patterns do make tire rotations somewhat sensible, you are somewhat limited by having dual wheels on the drive axles in what rotation patterns you can reasonably make. You don't want to rotate the steer tires to the dualies, since they will have worn at a rather different rate and so be a different diameter than their partners. If you have a spare, it might make sense to rotate the spare and the steering tires and leave the dualies alone (assuming the steer tires wear faster than the drive tires, which I gather is often the case). Likewise, you could rotate them with singles on a tag axle if you have a tag axle.

Can't hurt, but you're limited in what you can do as you shouldn't break up a dual pair.That said, if there isn't any noticeably uneven wear and you aren't planning to wear the tires down completely anyways before replacement, I don't see much of a point.

Rotate RV tires ONLY if an unusual wear pattern occurs.

I have over 90K miles on mine in 5 years, and no they have never been rotatated. I am getting ready to replace them as they are getting close to the wear bars. I doubt if I rotated them, that they would have lasted any longer. Btw I haven't used tire covers, just an occasional spray of 303 protectant, and there is no visible signs of wall cracking or deterioration on any of the tires. I have Michelin steer tires and goodyears on the duals. The steer tires were replaced very early at about 10K due to severe rivering. All has been good since.

I'm not a tire expert! But I have a lot of experience being around tires! I have never rotated a tire on my Semi 44-1/4 years driving over the road (logged over 4 million miles) and, I have never rotated a tire on my RV and I've been RVing since 1976. My tire guy told me not to and I believed him, never asked him why, just did what I was told.

You ought to check out motorhomes a little better. I don't know of any that recommend different tires for each axle.

No, I don't rotate the tires on the motorhome.
Mainly because I have M&S traction tread tires on the rear, and I am "old school" enough that I still believe the direction of rotation of radial tires should not be reversed, so I won't put the left tires on the right side and vice versa.
I don't know, nor do I care, if that old canard is true these days or not.

Rotation of tires is to equalize the wear so that one tire does not wear out before the rest.

On a motor home tires do not wear out,, they die of old age or injury. But they do not wear out.

I guess that depends on what you're driving. My tires and rims are all identical.

True, on ours the front and rear rims are reversed, the inner rears are steel, while the tag uses different tires.

Rotating tires on a DP would quickly become expensive and problematic. I find that some of the truck tire shops don't have a clue on where to jack up motor homes and then beat the heck out of the rims. If my motor home had steel wheels that were all the same, I might rotate them if there was an issue.

Thanks for ALL the GREAT responses!!!!!!!

I never rotated the old Class C
