[QUOTE="markk, post: 12220754, member: 75126"]Thought I would share this info. Is your Timpte or Wilson hopper 2018 and up eating up tires 3 times a year ? Inner and outer edges wearing off fast like low inflation problem. It is not air or the tire. It is them flimsy Hendrickson axles. They flex. At almost 5k for a set of Chinese tires, 3 times a year is a bunch of cash. Cure : have them aligned. Then weld thick angle iron on top and bottom of axle . No more flexing . Will be doing mine if I ever manage to make money again.[/QUOTE]
