Unless of course, you have grease hubs, then you need to add supersized auto inflate lines, so the grease can flow back and forth just like oil. The best way to tell if you have grease or oil in your tires, is to have a blowout somewhere on the highway, then ask the LOVES man when he changes the tire.Hammer166, Last Call, SmallPackage and 1 other person Thank this.

It’s best to keep the grease on the tire treads. It generates less rolling resistance and can yield higher mpg’s. The tires will run cooler which in turn causes them to last longer, perhaps a couple 100 thousand miles longer. It does however have one major drawback. It makes it almost impossible to slide the tandems. Unless a wheel is bent enough to act as a wheel chock.MACK E-6, Old_n_gray, jcatel and 6 others Thank this.

Do you want a blue truck or red truck in the requested diagram and which one do you prefer to have the grease hubs and which one for the oil hubs?
