Yes if you lift both wheels on the -8...
I jack both sides to rotate tires, service brakes etc because I am comfortable doing that from my experience with the Mooney.
I'm sorry..."ROTATE" tires? Uh, I usually just flip them around on the same side. What is the advantage to rotating them side-to-side?
Again...one side up, tire off, that side back down...flip/change tire, service brakes, jack up and put tire back on. Repeat other side.
This seems safest to me...the plane can't slip off a jack if it's not ON a jack.
Usually the tires wear out first on the outboard edges. So if you unmount them and swap sides (rotate) then you can accomplish even wear.
