Best choice of tire for spread axle?

grizzly said: ↑

I wouldn't run the FS590 on a spread. That is a steer tire and I have found that I need a tire with a solid shoulder, the FS590 has a small rib on the outside. I have also ran the Yokohama RY023, it is a good tire but the cost per mile was more than the Bridgestone R250, because I got less miles out of them.

I actually run the R250's on the front axle because it is the one that scrubs hard on my trailer. I run Yokohama RY587's on the rear and have had good luck with them. I have 175K on them and will replace them in the next 4 weeks.
