Steer tires on trailer?

all position tires work best. can use them on steers drives tandems

 

All manufacturers have ‘high scrub’ application tires. I can’t remember what I put on my 53 spread - R183 seems to come to mind.

 

Yes they do, they also have more tread. I recommend 16 ply.

 

I run Chinese all position on my trailer, it’s a tandem so not as much scrub. I had a set of “long march “ brand and they had a real soft compound. I can’t remember the brand name of what I have now, but they are a lot harder compound.

 

Also general tire makes a nice 16ply

Continental HSR2 work great on a spread axle.

 

I like that idea. That way, if you pick up a bolt in your steer tire, you have 8 more to use.

 

Back in the old days (in CA) there were quite a few outfits that ran steer tires in all positions.. but they sure didn't cost what they do now!
