Steer tires only lasting 50K miles??

26yrs ive never had it effect my steers.
The amount of wear that might take place is negligible.. This is why stating Oh nevermind have a great evening

 

I have an extra board stretcher if anyone needs one

 

Turning the steering wheel while stopped does not, in fact, increase wear on the steer tires. The pavement takes the brunt of the wear, sparing the rubber on the steer tires. Stop perpetuating myths.

 

If drivers stopped perpetuating myths the silence would be deafening.

 

I can think of 3 or 4 other things I'd look at before backing style.

• Some people try and cheap out on steer tires
• bad alignment
• bad toe-in
• air ride front-end?
• failure to rotate

 

How does the pavement take the brunt of the wear?

And speaking about tire wear and such...
How do so many trailer tires become so flat footed in certain spots?
Is it because of tight turns when the tires are not moving during the turn, and the rubber is taken away by the pavement?

Myth is it?
Try just sitting there and turning your steers from left to right to left... etc.
What will happen?
Will the pavement be ground away, or will that spot of soft rubber be worn down to nothing?
?
Do the math. And the physics.

 

Are you listening to yourself? By your logic, a trucker would have to be very careful to initiate the turn at precisely the same spot [on the same spot of the circumference) in order to make the tire have bad spots only in certain places.

Lots of reasons for irregular trailer wear, too but tight turning can only be responsible for speeding the tread depth wear, albeit evenly.
