We rotate at 30,000 or every other PM and oil change. But we are not on those goat trails that you loggers run on either......

Yes, certainly- rotate the tires...make them rotate fast.. the faster the better. I find it's the only way to make money. Keep 'em babies rotating

Doesn't hurt to rotate them.

I never rotated, but matched tires after measuring their circumference. Similar circumference are bolted to a wheel as duals. Average circumference of tires on one axle should approximately equal the average circumference of tires on the other axle.

I like Big D rotate about every 30k. An X on the drives and I flip the steers on the wheel. I get signifigantly longer tire life than others doing the same thing without rotation.
