Good deal! Glad to help! Thanks for watching!

Great idea! Ingenuity at work! Thanks for watching!

Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching!

3000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.

💯 facts! They would save themselves a lot of money in repair bills, too!

It's for sure the kind of acting awards are made of LOL. Thanks for watching!

So happy to hear I could help! That’s our goal with this channel-to empower others with the knowledge they need to either do their own work or to understand the value of what they are paying for if they have to take it to a shop. Thanks for watching and for letting us know how we have helped!

This is really good to hear! Preventative practices go a long way in avoiding break downs & emergencies. Nothing is ever 100% guaranteed, but it sounds like you have a good routine for checking things!

It should be stamped on the wheel. Often it’s in the back side of the wheel. Great question. Thanks for watching!

This wasn’t the video to get into “How To DOT date codes”. You can easily use Google to decipher the DOT codes. Most the of the tire manufacturers and large distributors also have this information on their websites.

I totally understand what you’re trying to achieve! There are several off-road camper style trailers on the market that use a tire set up like you’re wanting to do b/c they use them primarily in off-highway situations. I don’t disagree with that. They may be helpful if you will be in the sand a lot, just be sure to double check your load ratings to make sure they are sufficient for the weight you’re hauling.

@TheTrailerSmith thank you for the swift reply.. My trailer was shipped with 3500 lb tires. The ones that I'm looking at are 3800. I was concerned about the width of the tires shopping around I noticed that most trailer tires are narrow and figure there is a reason for that

I would not because it could trap the moisture, causing far greater issues.

Absolutely you can! But often, when using composite lumber for home or trailer use, they have a minimum substructure support spacing and minimum screw requirement. That minimum would likely require more cross members and closer screw spacing.

😬😬

The only place I get them from is in the brake pad kit. They can be installed without the bullet, if you take your time. The bullet has only been in use a few years. Or you can try buying the kit just for the bullet if you want to go that route.

@@TheTrailerSmith thank you

Thanks for the feedback! We truly do appreciate it. I'm glad the tire video was helpful to you, especially as you get ready for a big trip! Thank you for watching and may you have safe travels!

The reason I thought it was on the right rear was because there was tire wear on the right rear. When we measured axle spacing, from axle to axle, it was off as well. We don’t always have a standard axle spacing number to go off of, especially on cargo trailers so our first thought was to look at the worn out tire. This is why it’s important to take the series of plum bob measurements which immediately showed us the left rear was the culprit. The measurement from the tongue to the front axle on each side was essentially equal. But the measurement from the tongue to the rear axle was off from one side to the other. Those rear axle measurements led to further investigation to what could cause it and to figure out if the axle was too far forward or too far backward. Measuring all the suspension components helped to determine what the proper placement of the axle should have been. It’s all of these measurements for proper placement, along with viewing the damage that helped to determine what the issue was. Ultimately, the whole rear axle was out of place on both sides-too far forward in the right and too far back on the left. After completing the repairs and speaking with the customer, they confirmed they had the tires off and didn’t put them back on in the original locations when they installed them. The worn tire indeed had been on the back left, before it got to my place, which further confirms the diagnosis.

Thank you for watching!

Hence the emphasis on QUALITY ST tires. You can get cheap tires for any vehicle type. ST doesn't always equal cheap.......only if you buy the cheap ones. The key is to buy the tire that is designed for what you're putting it on. As stated in the video multiple times, LT (truck) tires are designed for trucks. Not trailers.

We really appreciate that vote of confidence! Thanks for taking the time to watch! Keep on keeping on!
