Need Help On Rotating Tires On Dually

Can anyone enlighten me on the rotation of the tires on my dually ?? I have not taken the time to really check into it yet. I know I am rotating all six tires but not the spare. I was not sure if the simulated wheel covers come off easily or just how everyone is doing this ??? I appreciate everyones help !! First time rotating tires on a dually......

The rotation sequence is in your owners manual. Some dually owners don't rotate the tires at all. I did at first, now I don't on the advice of a friend that works for a tire store.

A few other factors come into play...are the tires assymetrical, outline white letter, or both ? Depending on what you own will determine the proper way to rotate.

mine are just the stock tires and rims on the 04.5'. I wasn't for sure if they needed to be broke down off the rims or not. Is it a good idea to rotate or just leave them alone ???

Leave 'em where they are! If the fronts get a little more worn than the rears and then you mix then on the back, the tires with more tread on the rear will get worn down until they are same size as the ones you put on off of the front. You are better off just keeping them in one place.

Is anyone have problems with the steel rims rusting to the hubs? Should we break them down to put anti-sieze on them?

030303 that is a good idea, just for the fact that some day they will have to come off, and by then they will really be a bear to get off.
