Duallie.....Tire rotation?

[Sawboy]

Easy question for you guys that have duallies.

Do you rotate your tires? If so, how?

Assuming these are the tires, I would think this would be the way. But I hear from some guys, they never rotate on a duallie. And yes, I am too lazy and cheap to switch the inners, because of the rim swap needed


Now:

1 2


34 56


After rotate:




3 6



14 52

To do that you'd still need to swap wheels if you have aluminums, as only one side is polished. I don't rotate mine, the rears wear out faster (for some reason ) I just figure on running through a couple sets of rears per set of fronts

No swapping of rims req'd. They are on the same side as before.

well, theoretically

1 2

3 4 5 6

should end up
5 4

6 2 1 3

i rotate the two fronts with each other
and the rears the pass side set goes to the drivers side


then a week ago i paid to have em broke down and the inner set went up front and the frnts went on the inner rims

Is it really worth having them broken down to swap around?

 

[police stroker]

Rotate the fronts left to right and the rears left to right just swap them side to side.

Powerboater and Police Stroker. Thanks!

well i figure 40 bux was cheaper than two new front tires at 170 each.

and if i can get anoter 45k out of the "new" front tires i figure i made out ahead
the rears were wearing perfect and flat so the inner rears went up front.

200,000 miles on the rig....

6 3

24 51

allways have rotated in this pattern... by the time the rears are worn... the fronts are ready also...
