Tire Rotation

[jeffprupis]

What is the general advice on (Toyo) tire rotation? Front to back?, Left to right? Mileage? TIA

[David T. Richelderfer]

I don't rotate my coach tires.  My thought is tire rotation is for when one or more tires are wearing unevenly.  Since our tires wear very little, there is no reason to rotate them.  The two caveats are 1) if a tire or tires are showing uneven wear, then rotate them and get the reason for uneven wear fixed, and 2) since we have different sized tires between the steering axle and dual/tag axles, we must be careful where we rotate to/from between/on axles.

I second the never rotate unless there is a problem. You rotate to even tire wear and get as many miles as possible from a set. These are 150000 + mile tires and you will never wear them out before they age out !

Jeff,
I agree with Bill and David. There is absolutely no reason to rotate the tires on your coach as part of a preventive maintenance program. It will be expensive since you only have 4 aluminum wheels with steel wheels on both inner drivers. So rotating the tires like you do on your car will involve dismounting and remounting tires for virtually no benefit.

Ditto here.  Most, including Bob Dickman's Les Schwab that installed my Toyos, and I believe BCS advise not to rotate.
