Remember. Tires run hotter the closer together they are.
Closer together they get radiant heat from each other. Farther apart. they get more air to cool. BTW that is also one of the selling points of the EZ track axles/ Spread axles you see on newer TTs. Tires run cooler, and trailers track better.
At least that is what I read
I can make a pretty strong case for just the opposite.
With a spread axle there WILL be more tire scrubbing whenever the TT is turning. Even slight turns such as on a highway . Tire scrubbing generates heat.
I seriously doubt that my tires which are at the minimum of 1" apart are getting much radiant heat from each other with a 65-75 MPH wind blowing over them.
