I tried that with the original set. I didn't even manage to get 25,000 miles before I was driving on slicks. A Ram 3500 eats front tires.

Sam's did not disappoint. Both rear wheels were gouged. I told the guy that had already bought those wheel once(I have not changed them out yet) so it wouldn't be fair to charge them again.
The dude offered no apology or excuse for their screw ups.

As far as rotation goes, I checked my receipt, I got 23k out of the first set of tires. This set is the same tire so I'll up date with the mileage I get out of these. I've got 13k on them so far and have rotated them twice.

I worked for the transportation dept. of a school district for 32 years. About the only thing we did was always put new tires on the fronts & rotated the other front tires to one side or the other in the rear. Never did a full rotate....Joe
