What about the grinding of the tires on the triple axle when backing or tight corners? Should I be concerned?


That is normal, I will typicaly pull ahead and then back up once I am in my "spot" to allow the tires and axels to returnn to their normal place. Typicaly take's about 10' of movement to get this done. As everyone has said, PRACTICE makes perfect :)
