Subject: RE: Different size tires

Location: 31

I make sure my tandem axle trailers are dead level in my driveway, but I think things change once in motion. In my mind the only way that rear tires consistently wear faster like they do is because the pull vehicle transfers some of the weight rear as it tugs the thing along. Staying vigilant on rotating the tires is the only way I have found to combat this.

The reason I recommended putting the new on the rear is because the other set is still in great shape, but they can't be rotated. The new tires on the rear would allow the most wear from the older tires, then down the road all 4 can be replaced at the same time and be rotated normally. However, I think either way would work fine and it just depends on what Mace wants to do moving forward.
