i was reading a blog today about the adventures of a full timer in a neoplan. he did a blog today about his tag tire change. and he showed a picture of a totally bald tire for the tag. he says his 90's neoplan has a steerable tag and it really causes a lot of wear on the tag.
so he runs them bald before changing them and always puts the tire from the front on the tag and gets new ones for the front. granted he drives alot so gets more miles on his tires than i will ever. but...i am curious as to how much life the tag on our rigs get.
and if i should do something similar and rotate the front tires to the tag (after getting bigger rims for the tag) when i need to change the fronts. in 4 or more years....
i have a really sharp backing up turn into my driveway.
what kind of wear do you guys with tags get on those tires?
i dont change the pressure on the tag when i back up either. do you guys? i have a switch that will put more or less pressure on the tag.
i am still a little puzzled when to use it.
any wisdom here?
thanks
