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.
Welcome to your opinion
At least my "opinion has some factual basis.
Been running my tires that close together for over 10 years in Phoenix AZ, and they haven't overheated yet. And if you really believe that tire scrub doesn't create heat ... and that tires spaced further apart don't scrub more than tires closer together...I got a bridge for sale.
At any rate, now you can say that you have read what I wrote, just as you repeat what someone else wrote
