A question for our experts:
There have been numerous failures from day one with the ground-up LT235/85R16G tires designed for trailer service. They are almost exclusively used on 7000# axles and should have the load capacity to live out their expected life expectancy but are falling short of it. The leading manufacturer has made at least one major attempt at resolving the problem with limited success.
What do you guys think about that steel cased tire? I’ve wondered about it’s regrooveability feature. Even though it has shallow threads it still has the extra tread depth to allow regrooving. Is that presenting a heat problem when the tire is near it’s operational limits? Do you think regrooving them early would help in extending their life expectancy?
