Yep, tires should have been rotated on a regular basis--that's good
maintenance practice. I use anti-seize on my wheel to hub interfaces.

FWIW, this problem happens with ALL wheels, not just alloy ones. Steel
wheels will rust fast and need to be beaten off as well. For some
vehicles (with steel wheels) we've had to use a six lb sledge hammer to
get the wheel loose--dog help the person who needs to change a flat in
the middle of nowhere when that happens.

I recommend rotating tires either with each (six month) service or
annually if the vehicle is not driven much.
