Watch for tire wear, rotate when needed. Your rear drives will wear faster than your front, I just rotated mine. The steer tires, I high speed balance, can't say I have ever rotated those, they wear evenly so no need to mess with something that is not broken. And I replace every 2.5 to 3 years, somewhere in there, as the sidewalls weaken over time. When one blows on these plastic trucks they can do a lot of damage. Cheaper to replace while there is still some credit left on the old ones. That is just me, others will disagree. I call it preventive maintenance.

Might try Jacks tire in SLC.
Do a search on jacks alignment.
Should show up with google.Midnightrider909 Thanks this. -
Need pictures. If it’s just one tire on a set of duals then doesn’t make much sense to be alignment.
As far as rotating. I was told by an old timer that would know that you want the life of the tire to always be rolling the same direction it started life as. So move back axle to front from rear axle and vice versus but mark the tires so they are turning same direction as before.Last edited: Sep 17, 2018
