How to Rotate Dual Truck Tires

Even Tire Wear

1). Jack up the front axle, putting the jack in the center of the axle, and place two jack stands under the axle to support the front of the truck.
2). Jack up the rear axle and place the other two jack stands under the axle. All six tires should be off the ground.
3). Loosen and remove the lug nuts at all four wheel positions, using a lug wrench or compressed-air impact wrench. Set the lug nuts aside. A single set of lug nuts will hold the rear dual tires.
4). Remove all the wheels and tires from the hubs, and note the starting position of each tire.
5). Reinstall the outside dual tires to the inside position on the same side.
6). Install the wheels and tires from the inside dual position to the front axle, same side.
7). Reinstall the remaining, former front wheels and tires to the outside dual positions, same side.
8). Tighten all the lug nuts to the proper torque as specified in the truck owner's manual, using a torque wrench.

1). Jack up and install jack stands on the rear axle only.
