We are changing our tires for the second time, first was to get rid of the junk tires it came with. We went from load range e to load range g and got rid of all the constant leaking tires and de-lamination. now they just wore out at about 15k, down to the wear bars. Just want to see if we are average or need to look at other issues, the wear is for the most part even a crossed the entire tire. Our TH is about 18500lbs with 3 axles.
2012 TH....going to 3rd set of tires in 2 yrs.
OK..1st set was OEM Junk. I get that.
2nd set Load Range G and after 15K miles tires worn down to wear bars :H
That I don't get.
You have 3 axles......18,500# TH.
IS that total TH weight or is that Total axle weight?
Total TH weight.....each axle at 5000# (+/-)
Total axle weight..each axle at 6100# (+/-)
Something isn't right.
What tires are you using?
What air pressure are you running?
How much tight maneuvering are you doing....scrubbing the tires?
I run Load G tires (105#) on my 2 axle 14K 5vr. Traveled FT..over 15K miles per year on trailer tires and have yet to wear them out.
Change them out at 4 years.
Something isn't right if you are wearing them out in short time period and 15K miles :H
