    With my 19.5 during July and august.with 40,000# + the rear axle caps would chunk out or partial peel.
    Maybe bad quality. I haven't tried with the 17.5.
    Still getting this trailer back to like new. I bought this trailer in November 2016
    Since November 2017. I've replaced.brake ,disc, calipers. Bearings,races and seals.
    Air springs,shocks,Bushings and alignment.
    That has helped with tire wear.
    I always run caps on my drives.
    Thanks for the tips
     
    BoxCarKidd Thanks this.

    My regroover arrived. Didn't take anymore practice than a short 6" cut in a spare tire.
    This tool works easy. Set the heat on low and the setting on 2 and away I went.

    I only did one tire on my trailer. That was all I needed to touch up. I will cut the rest as needed next month.
    I can see how this tool gives me the potential to get a better value from my tires.
    Thanks for the input from all.
