I just bought 8 Cooper Work Series tires for my trailer,they're all position.I want to try some on the steers when I change those out.They have deep tread,I think it's 22mm.

I haven't, but from customers that did, I never saw long lasting results from them.
I would say they're application specific. If you run highway OTR, stay with a tire designed for that.Goodysnap, Siinman, Diesel Dave and 1 other person Thank this. -
The application that I’ve seen it work is for a vocational truck, dump truck or farm use, something where you spend a considerable amount of time off the pavement. Anything that sees mostly pavement I would go with a steer tire.
mitmaks Thanks this. -
I wouldn't run anything but a "steer" tire on the steer, in fact, I knew of someone that bought 10 steer tires, 8 for the drive, and if he picked up a nail in one of the steers, put it on the drive, he had 8 more. One way of doing it, I suppose.
