Tow Vehicle - Front Tire Wear Issue
We tow a 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4. I have noticed that after towing it, the Liberty's front tires rumble. So I've spun the tires on a balance machine and found only those two front tires have significa...

Ron, I don't have specifics to offer, but I can say that Four-Down has two drawbacks:
1. It is expensive in equipment investment, particularly if you change vehicles often. But expensive even if you don't, compared to a used dolly.
2. It subjects the toad to conditions that it wasn't designed for. I've heard of premature front tire "wear" being an issue with other towed vehicles. Also exposes toad to more road debris damage than on dolly or trailer.
This would probably be a better question for the Dinghy Towing forum.
We tow four-down, by the way. But we've only taken a couple trips over 100 miles each way. If our vehicles have a problem it probably would not show.
