All good discussion... my Ford F-350 DRW required "flipping" the rears, and exchanging the fronts, mainly because the inner rear wheels were steel and the other alloy wheels were left unfinished by Ford on the insides.

JamieGeeks's diagram is a good model to follow.

Some will argue that mixing front tires with rear tires "may" result in the rear tires being a different mounted diameter, due to a different wear pattern as a steer tire. A dual tire axle want tires of EQUAL mounted diameter, or one tire takes more of the load. Crowned roads always raised havoc with DRW vehicles, Thus JamieGeek's right-hand diagram seems to make more sense. Keep the rears wearing the same... cross front L-to-R, and replace in sets of two or four... unless they rot from age/UV destruction beforehand.
