Who rotated tires in a dually properly front to back ect? Seems like a good way to end up with 6 bad tires compared to 2 fronts? My 14 doesn’t seem to like the front tires much. Get maybe 30k out of a set if I had to guess. That pretty normal?

Never had a Dodge front end that didn't tear tires up, or destroy about a set of brake pads in a year.
The 4wd junk seems to be the worst about both issues.
Then there's the horrible steering boxes and linkages, not to mention the retarded non-greaseable balljoint design. :bs:
Oh, and the atrocious unit bearing hub, lest we forget. :stab:
Mark.
I just buy new frts every 20k miles or so.
If you have Alcoa's, you can't even rotate them without dismounting the tires, only one side of the wheels are polished.
I don't plan to honestly with my 19.5s. Tire shop that I go through said for mine it will be 200 to swap around and rebalance. He said just to 2 sets of fronts to 1 set of rears.
I gave up on rotating all 6 a while back. Like you said, you'll end up with 6 bald ones. I bought Hankook Dynapro AT's for the rear. The have 20-30K on them and look almost new. I put Nitto Dura Grappler highway treads on the two fronts since they have an almost solid shoulder. This truck (like most dodges) cups the hell out of the edges no matter how many alignments I get. I thought the free spin hubs might help. Or new shocks. Or etc etc. This is my third dually (1999, 2001, now 2009) and they all did/do the same. The parking lot at work here is tight so I do a lot of close turning on pavement that I don't like but have no choice. They have the same mileage on them and will at least make it until next winter.
By new fronts. Leave the backs alone. $.02
That’s pretty much where I am with it. Any suggestions on tires for the front? You happy with your nittos? Never been a huge fan of them.
