    I have a 2016 international prostar and the rear wheels are locking up when turning, backing or driving afwater a stop. Lots of smoke from the wheels. One mechanic recommended I change all 8 tires so they match ( since I changed last 4 ) should I change the tires or take it to international dealer? What do you guys think?

    Changing tires won't fix your problem.

    I recommend this be towed to shop for further examination. Something is jamming up there with either the gear itself or the brakes. Either way, sounds unsafe to drive.

    Sounds like the breaks are not releasing/ hanging up after you stop. Could be a bad air valve.

    Could have bad s cam bushings, slack adjuster not releasing, when was last time foundation brakes were serviced, greased?. how much lining thickness on brakes?.
    did the S cam “cam over” brake spider securely mounted to axle housing?,
    Is s cam tube bracket still mounted to axle housing. All things you can inspect and do yourself.
