Replacing 2 tires, where should the new ones go?

[danr1707]

Without getting into a long story, I have 2 G614 RST tires that need to be replaced. The other 2 are newer and in good shape.

Should I put the new ones on the front or back axle?

Just put them both on the same axle then rotate them front to rear periodically to even out the wear.
BTW the accepted practice on the tow vehicle is to put the best tires on the rear. When towing, you really lose stability if a rear tire is low whereas you can use steering to correct for the effect of a bad front tire. If you've ever had a back tire go down you'll readily agree with this.

I asked this same question a month ago and most people thought the back tires tended to scrub and wear more - which was what I had observed as well.

Better to buy five new ones and rotate them all periodically. See www.michelinrvtires.com for why to include the spare.

Sorry, I missed that it is for the trailer, so Fred is correct, position does not matter.

It is a trailer, so the tire position does not matter at all.

new ones always go on the front axle because there is less chance of a blowout on the steering axle.
