Dual Axel Trailer question.....

[jeffbyrd66]

Is there any benefit to tire rotation on a trailer and how should it be done? (front to back or crossed) The reason I ask is my rear tires seem to show more wear than the front ones.
Thanks in Advance!!

No reason not to. I'd take a look at the way the trailer is set up though, your tires are telling you something. My guess would be that the tounge attachment is too high on the truck, shifting more load the the rear axle.

If you can find a local racecar shop it might be worthwhile to go there and run your trailer up on some scale pads and see how far off the weight distribution is.

I have the same problem and rotate front to rear to get even wear on my tires.

If rear tires are wearing more than the front, but evenly, then front to back should be fine. Look at the wear patterns and you'll see which way you'll need to go.
