Does anybody rotate your trailer tires?

Post by Big Ed »

I have a dual axle boat trailer. It never occurred to me that rotating the tires front to back might be a good idea?

I have new tires on my trailer all four tires approx one year old. What you guys think good idea or not?

Thanks: Big Ed!

I don't have any experience in rotating trailer tires since I only have a single axle trailer. However, logic says to check the front-to-rear wear patterns. If the fronts are wearing more than the rears, or vice-versa, I would probably rotate them. Call Steve "Scuba" Jensen at Tire Pros in Clear Lake, he would probably be able to help. Another source for tire help is Ron Howe of RB Bass, contact him through the RBBass website, https://rbbassfishing.net/

Always a good Idea. Evens out any wear patterns.

Single axle, not so much. Duel axle it a very good idea do to the front axle tires slide when making the sharp turn to line up for backing down the ramp or into the garage. Front to back, then side to side the next time. EVEN with radial tires !!
