Not any more
Long story...
A couple years ago I went to my dealership to have the tires rotated. There actually is a specified rotation diagram for a dually. My rims are aluminum and the front and rear rims look the same but are actually different. The tires are all raised white outlined lettered. The tires would have to be unmounted then remounted to do the rotation at a cost of $20 per tire. $120, holy crap. Well, I went ahead anyway. A couple problems arose during the attempted rotation. First, the inner rear tires were not raised outlines white letters. Second, the inner rear tires were mounted on steel rims. This was not discovered until they had already broken down the fronts and outer rears. So, ended up doing an X pattern rotation with the unmounted tires.
Went to pick up the truck and discovered they boogered up three rims. They ended up buying me three new rims. Close to a $3k bill that they ate.
Soooo... no more rotation for me.
