Shoulder Wear on Trailer Tires
Posted by Tim on March 29, 2006
I have experienced a trailer tire wear problem for many years & although I’ve tried many different brands, every company rep has promised to have the solution to my tire wear problem, but when the problem keeps re-occurring all I get is the all too common “Gee I just don’t know, you are the only fleet with this problem”. My problem is that both the inside and outside edges of my trailer tires wear out faster than the center of the tire, on many occassions we have replaced tires with as much as 10/32nds left in the middle part of the thread, but the edges have totally wore out. I have tried different inflation pressures, shock absorbers, trailer alignment shops, etc. but the problem keeps coming back, any ideas you can share with me?
Gee, I just don't know, you are the only fleet with this problem. Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't think this is the sort of problem I am going to solve from a desk in Akron. I suggest you send me another note, via fleetowner.com, with some information on how to get in touch with you (I will not post this info) and I will have a local Goodyear commercial tire specialist get in touch with you to take a look at the situation.
