Charlie,
You make a good point, BUT while the landing weight/stress on Bill’s tires is pretty minimal, they do bulge a bit at the bottom during taxi out and take off…

All -- I must warn you, consider the source when you are evaluating Bill's comment below. This guy only lands once every 39 hours, so of course his tires are going to last longer
regardless how they're aligned.
Legacy (must land every 5 hours or so)

The short answer is...yes. I have done so and am still operating with my original tires at 600+ hours. If I had not rotated the
tires, they would have had to have been changed at around 450. Of course the tires must be removed and reversed on their respective rims. Moving the left wheel to the right side will not help.
