    Rotate tires

    Does anybody rotate the tires on their 5ver or TT? If so just front to back or what?
    Thanks

    Nope the axles on trailers do not have camber and castor adjustments, so no need to rotate.

    I rotate mine on my tri-axle mainly because the front gets the front tires scrubbed on the edges from tight turning/parking. So I rotate them while I am doing other maint since they are off. Especially while doing my bushing/wetbolt replacement, I moved them all front to make a single position just because I could ... Not to mention if my loading is not equal, I figured it couldn't hurt, but I agree its not necessary. I just did it because well, why not, they were already off...

    I also rotate my triple because of scrubbing on the front and rear. Just same side.

    I rotate mine if the tire wear is not identical to get the max use out of the tires. I also discard my tires though every three years regardless of wear or mileage due to having encountered a blowout in the past. I don't keep them any longer than three seasons no matter how many miles are on them.

    Yes, I rotate my Fifth wheel tires about every 7-8,000 miles. I move back to front and criss-cross front to opposite side rear. Not a lot of trouble to do it.
