tire rotation
Hi guys, took my 2008 mega cab dually in today to the dealer for its first oil change since the dealer paid for it. My question to the service manager was how to you rotate the 6 tires, for which he had no answer. So I thought I would ask the experts (you guys). And do you ever add the spare tire into the mix??
Thank you, Burt Mills

RE: tire rotation
for the dually's, the outer tire goes to the front, the front tire goes to the inside, and the inside tire gets turned around to the outside. . .I think thats how it goes.

RE: tire rotation
Yep, kinda like that. I have the dealer do mine every other oil change. The outside right rear goes to the front left, the outside left rear goes to the front right (criss cross). The two front tires stay on the same side just move to the back inside. The inside tires move to the outside but have to be broken down and the wheel turned 180' and remounted so as the tire rolls in the same direction. I believe I said that right.

RE: tire rotation
Most of the time I don't bother with it, but the last time they were rotated, only one rear side per rotation goes up front. For example, both fronts would go back to the left rears. (Yes, one of the tires would be reversed.) Next time use the right rears. I always thought that reversing a tires rotation would screw with the steel belts, but apparantly not, so said the tire shop that did the work.

I never realized that the inside rear tire also had a fancy rim like the outside rear tire. I just always thought they had an ugly steel wheel in there.
