I have a gooseneck 16' dump trailer I mainly use to transport firewood. Trailer and load weight about 14k, which is what trailer is rated for. It has 16" steel rims from factory and I have to keep replacing the 235-16 radial E ply tires every 12-18 months. (10-15k miles) The tires wear on the outside of the tire mainly, and also inside. The center of the tire will last longer. I think this is because I have to back into peoples driveway and turn with a load on. I can watch the radial tires turn on the pavment and grip the road. I think this is main reason they wear on outside corner quick. When the outside is worn down I flip tires and then get more lift out of them.
The goodyear g614 tires or a 17.5 rim/tire are expensive. Do you think they would wear the same on the outside edge?
