What is your psi? -
what psi you keep them at?
How heavy are you on the steer on average? -
I realize that this is a 4 year old thread but post #9 and post # 16 mention "G" rated tires as being 16 ply.
They are not. They are 14 ply.
16 ply are "H".Oscar the KW and nofilter Thank this. -

Never did like that they align trucks with the wheels on.

Just got new steer tires yesterday. The old tires had about 236,000 miles on them and I got $150 each for them from the dealer. Both old and new tires are Michelin XZA3+ usually at 105 PSI. I rarely go over 11,700 lb on the steer axle.
nofilter Thanks this. -
I got my 5th wheel set so I only ever have 11k on the front so that probably makes a differenceand I max them out 115psi.nofilter Thanks this. -
Ooops something went wrong with this msg...haha

Then we stretched wb 292. Finally change the steer. Purchased new xza3 $1350.00 at Love's. That was the cheapest in our area. Left to deliver a load about 80miles away. Found the tire were showing sign of cupping. Same as before cupping outside passenger inside driver side. We had them rebalanced and re- align steer & drives. It isn't getting worse but the trailer is doglegging and strangely enough it was not showing before all this. But it is showing now. So we will do an alignment on trailer soon & I think it needs new bushings. However our new steer are stable ....not showing any more cupping. And we removed the centramatic...we will try them again at a later date and report on that.
