Will they rotate my 37s on aftermarket wheels?

I wish I could convert mine over to that. Due to covid (mandated work from home for months) and a relatively rainy summer (stripped down and covered in rain) I just haven't put many miles on my JT. I don't even think I will hit 4k in my first year of ownership.Starting with the 2021's you'll have 3 years however you'll only have 3 oil changes and tire rotations instead of 4.
Technically, they don't have to rotate anything that isn't OEM. The dealer I went to rotated rubicon takeoffs on my Sport S, no questions asked, so you might get lucky!Will they rotate my 37s on aftermarket wheels?
Just curious where your getting that info from, where does it state that. My dealer told me it doesn't matter how big the tires if you want them to rotate them they got to do it. They always ask me if I want them rotated.Technically, they don't have to rotate anything that isn't OEM.

Yeah that refers to wheels not tires, or that's what my dealership told me. He said tires don't matter
So this email alludes to getting "original equipment" care for your Jeep. But I'm mainly getting it from reading another thread out here somewhere on the forum. The member mentioned how the service tech wouldn't rotate his tires for free as part of the Jeep Wave because they weren't OEM. Maybe he just had a lazy service tech who was coming up for a reason not to lug around heavy tires? Or maybe this is a rule and most dealers don't care to enforce it? I don't really know, I was just trying to prepare people so they're not surprised if they hear that from a service tech
That "conventional wisdom" was not wise. Tire rotations have always been good. The big thing was people resisted because of RADIALS. You were not supposed to change direction of rotation, so people got the idea to not rotate. And guess when this took place - the 1980s.Is there something special about the tires that everyone is doing tire rotations regularly? Back many decades ago it was recommended, but sometime around the 1980s or so "conventional wisdom" changed to recommend rotation only if unusual wear was detected. I honestly can't remember when was the last time I did a tire rotation on any of my vehicles, and I've never experienced premature wear .
The owner manuals for Jeep say if you have 5 matching wheels and tires, they recommended 5 tire rotation. Right out of the book........... so we always try to get Grand Cherokees with a matching spare tire and wheel.My dealer would they only thing that they wouldn't do was rotate 5 instead of 4 on my Wrangler
