For what it’s worth, I use when rotating tires is what this image is calling the “X” pattern.

Even with solid front axles? A friend of mine ran a small fleet of 4x4 Ford tow, roll off and extraction trucks 350s on up to 550s and never was a problem, but that was a few years ago.

Oh yeah. Even solid axle trucks.

This inside rear, on my brand new Ram 3500, was on the right front. The front tires wear weird. Notice the inside edge wear and feathering.

All of our trucks and vans do this. The whole fleet.

Hello. I have a 2020 Ram 1500. Looking to upgrade my tires. I have stock 18” rebel wheels. Looking for any recommendations from full-size truck overlanders. Thanks everyone one in advance.
I am on my second set of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. They are excellent in rain, snow, sand, and mud, and have an aggressive sidewall for airing down in those low traction situations. They are quite on pavement as well. Falken just came out with an upgrade, the Wildpeak AT4W, which I plan to buy when my current set wears out.

So I've sold, mounted and balanced thousands of tires from Georgia to Oklahoma and this is my pick.
Cooper AT3 Most of these headed to the oil fields in ND and Texas. Super tough
Firestone AT2 (currently on my F250) with 50k

Religious tire rotations at 3500 miles and 3 alignments a year, like it or not.
Lifetime alignment from Firestone is a must at the price. If you don't think so send me the $1200 when you crap balds out at 35,000 miles. LOL

What kind of terrain do you drive ?
what’s your on/off-road ratio ?
do you encounter snow ?
are you towing much ?

if your just hitting a gravel road from time to time and putting on a ton of street miles your gonna need a different tire than if your hitting hard trails every weekend
