The spread axles take some getting used to for backing. I am out of cdl school and into my third week with my trainer. My mind thinks they will react one way and they of course react a different way. I am getting it though. Just really throws you off at first.

The trailer I was running that I got 1 1/2 years outa a set of tires was a Great Dane, Stepdeck, combo, steel aluminum ... 2005 model... it had Bridgestones on it new from the factory when I got it.. Those tires lasted about 1 1/2 years... Everyone said I was good to get that??
There were plenty of guys who changed them every year where I am! I switched them to Michelin XZA's but traded the trailer about 6 months after putting the new tires on. -
For what it's worth Bandag makes a cap designed for a spread, the shoulders are extremely rounded to help eliminate scrubbing and hold up extremely well. In most cases last way longer than the virgin tire. -
