Rotate Tires or No?
 
Got drive tires (Caps) with 21,000 on them and wearing even, would you rotate them now or at what point do you advise I do this? Hauling Logs avg wt is 88,000lbs.

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:D:D:D:D

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.
