    Spread axle is hard on tires and Chinese tires don't cut the mustard. Offroad is about the only thing I can see a use for.

    They do okay as boundary markers on a dirt bike track, then again so do hay bails.

    I had a set of steers, that I let go too long, shaved at Falcon Tire in Jacksonville so I could use them in a drive position. They were badly out of round and different diameters.

    The quality of the job however greatly depends on who is running the machine. When the guy first started running it, he was taking huge gobs of rubber and stalling the machine. I made him slow down. I also had to use my own tape measure to measure the diameters so that they were both the same. He had to cut one tire a little more than the other.
