Subject: RE: Rotating trailer tires

Location: 31

The inside edge on boat trailers almost always wears out before the outside edge does, at least on every boat trailer I have ever owned. Even on dual axle trailers, the rear tires inside edge wears out before the front tire inside edge.

More than once I've stuck my head under the trailer for inspection and couldn't believe how bad that inside edge of the tire was compared to the outside edge. I've actually considered having a tire shop flip the tire around on the wheel because it seems like such a waste, but have always just opted for replacement.

I never rotate them because both sides seem to wear the inside edge out evenly, I did replace only the two rear tires on my dual axle trailer last fall, and plan on basically replacing them two at a time in the future.
