Do you rotate tires on a dually? Like from front to back?

Most recomend front goes to inner rear, inner rear goes to outer rear, and outer rear goes to front. I have never rotated mine though.

Don't they rotate themselves as you're driving!? :flipoff2:

What rwolf said.

The only thing that throws a monkey wrench into things is if you have tires that have white letters on one side and not the other.

You just have to work side to side as well as front to back if they're white letters on one side...

And alternate having letters out and black out LOL

you have to watch that crap. I know on the fords, the inner one is a steelie and the other two only have polished aluminum on one side, not the other. that means you have to mount and balance some tires. if that is your case...sucks to be you. :flipoff2:

I'd hit the steel rim with some chrome paint from VatoZone and call it a day :lol:

yeah, I do agree with that. most of the time they can be a beatch to get off. a nice sledge and some power lube work well.

The correct way to rotate tires on a DRW vehicle is to completely break down the tires, rotate, remount, Balance. Like everything else on a Duallie it = More work, more time, or for some just more money.

Ill look at it when ot comes out of the body shop. I suspect the rear rims are steel with chrome wheel covers. If so should be easy enough. Side note I gor a 2010 dodge ram for a rentel and what a miserable pos. I think it has the 4.7 in it..... omg can't get out of its own way. Although the fuel milage is great. Like 25 highway.

i had local tire shop rotate the inner tire with fronts. pop the off rim and remount and balance. bit of pain in the ass but got a lot more life out of tires. only did it once in the 60,000 miles i got out of the tires.
