<p>[QUOTE="Mnmover99, post: 12375208, member: 338043"]Running out worn drive tires on the trailer is how most used to do it. Then people learned about how rolling resistance figures into the mix. The easier a tire rolls, the less fuel it will take to move it. In certain applications using worn out drive tires may still be the best practice, but to a long hauler, it usually is cheaper to spec trailer tires, and if the trailer is a spread axle, there are trailer tires that take the scrubbing of turning with a spread axle better. Alignments and proper inflation is the best way to get the most miles out tires.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
