What is your opinion on Radial tires and rotating left and right tires so they are rolling the opposite direction?

 

Or do you thing its best to only rotate front to back same side so the tire always role the same direction?

Typically its a front to rear tire rotation. Some people will take the front tires and criss-cross them going to the rear. Since the rear tires are typically wore flat faces and should cause any problems.

I was referring to the old theory that the radial belts get a directional memory

I do a 5 tire with my radials and it's never been an issue.

Since the right rear is the power tire if you only do a front/back you will wear out the right side faster.

Thats what I noticed my right rear is wearing fast and I have Posi rear. First I just rotated front to back same side. I was thinking I would  swap the two rears for awhile , But Ive always tried to keep the rotation same direction on each tire on my other 4x4s

 

My old chevy 3/4 4x4 (1981 k20) has a posi rear, but the left side rear rears just a little more than the right. But Generally the two rears wear pretty much the same compared to my dodge wearing the right rear quite a bit more

So what is the recommendation for those with Duallys?  I've been taking one side of rear tires and moving those to the front and taking the front two and putting them in the rear, ie. the 2 rear-right go to the front and the front goes to the rear-right.  The next rotation I will swap with the left side.

I criss cross as in Mike's post    and have not had any problems. Last set where cheap tires and still lasted 50k.

I've never had a issue with a criss-cross rotation.

 

 

Same here.  The 4th one in your above post is what I do.
