[QUOTE="COLT, post: 291701, member: 1351"] I balance mine every time I get new tires. It makes them not "flat spot". It looks like they are riding level enough from your picture. To some it may look like the rear axle has a little more weight on it, but I'm thinking that is just your truck sitting on an incline at the pump. A few things that work for me 1. Don't inflate over 70 psi regardless of what the tires says. 2. Distribution weight evenly 3. Don't use a tire over rated... (Your tires need a lot of sidewall give on a 3 axle) 4. Balance your tires. (Do you ride around in your truck with un-balanced tires). I imagine you have a heep of scratch in that trailer...no need to beat it to hell I use hankook radials and Firestone transforce radials. I have always had good service from these 2 tire brands! Think about it...if my tire blows, it destroys the 300$$$$ boat above it. I don't run carlisles because the compound is to soft, and I don't run the high dollar michelins and good years because the sidewalks are too hard. I have pulled just about every tire cross country on my customers trailers known to man. The only ones that I have found to work for extended periods of time are the fire stones and the hankook dynapro AS. With that being said, I will say there is no way your tires should be failing as quickly as you mention regardless of balance or brand unless you are extremely over weight. I like that setup! Trailer is the shiz :woot: COLT [/QUOTE]
