Dually tire wearing issues

How to rotate wheels on dually? For some odd reasons my truck pulls to right slightly and I noticed that there is more wear on the right front tire. The rear tires look good though. The wear is not readily noticeable…

Back in the early days of radial tires, it was advised not to reverse rotation of the tire when rotating, but modern tire construction processes have eliminated the old problems. It is actually advised now to cross-rotate, which reverses rotation. You'll be doing basically the same thing going just side-to-side. If the wear keeps increasing in the same areas of the tires, you can have them pulled off and flipped on the wheel to maximize mileage. If you have white lettering, you'll have to decide if you want to do this. Also, look into the cause of the uneven wear!

You might want to have the bushings checked too.
