Rotate tires on TT?

Don't forget blinker fluid as part of your maintenance.

Seems like the consensus is that rotating TT tires isn't really worth the effort. We only put about 4K miles on the trailer this year anyway.

Thanks for the advice!

I haven't ever rotated our TT tires but we get them balanced, our automobile tires do get rotated to keep wear even across all four tires. Wouldn't hurt anything if you wanted to do so, good time to inspect brakes and bearings. We put lots of miles on our rig yearly and occasionally travel above 65mph on the interstates, therefore we replace our TT tires every four years regardless of wear. The ST tires we have on now all have ratings above 65mph, we always set inflation to max psi as stated on sidewall.

We have 36,000 miles on our trailer tires in the past 3 years and 9 months.

We are on the second set of purchased tires. Replaced the originals at 4,000 miles. Needed higher load rating. Replaced first purchased set at 29,000 miles.

I bought mine from Discount Tire, along with my truck tires. I get more wear on the front tires of the truck because it does more braking action than the rear.

About every three or four months, I stop in and have the truck and trailer tires rotated and balanced. Because it is free and takes less than an hour. I make those stops only when it is easy to do at the start of a towing day.

If I don't put that kind of usage on your TT tires, I wouldn't bother.

There's no reason to do so.

Not the same needs as a car to rotate. Trailers do not have different steering, braking and no power applied. Besides that I prefer to keep same position so you know where the damage is if you find a bad wear pattern.

Do people still rotate tires on their cars? Let alone trailers.

Realistically most RV tires die of old age not from miles wearing the tread out.

Honestly, I haven't rotated tires on any vehicle in years. Only time I've had tire wear issues is when I get an alignment problem but then it's 50-100miles and the tire is messed up. Rotation wouldn't help.

No harm in doing it and yeah, may as well rotate the spare thru if you are going to do it (probably faster as you only jack a wheel up once, pull it off put the spare on and move to the next putting the one you took off onto that )

Ihaver found that all my TT tires wear pfairly evenly. So when one is worn out the rest are nearly identical. Because of that I don't rotate and I don't think it would add any life to them to do so.
Balancing is important though.
