I have a relatively new (4 years old) Quality Steel and Aluminum 10K, 18ft, equipment trailer and towed my tractor to and from a job yesterday. When I returned, I noticed that the tires on the front axle have a flat spot where it looked like the wheels locked and dragged. The tread (the tires are probably worn down by about a 1/3rd to 1/2) is completely worn off of the flat spots. No cords or belts showing, but completely flat for about a palms width. I did not see the same spots on the tires of the rear axle.
I had a "spirited" stop back in the spring in which the trailer was unloaded and I was towing a lawn tractor back home. The tires smoked, but I didn't think it worn the tread off. But maybe that explains it?
My big question for you guys is: Should I replace these tires now? Just the two or all four? Any good recommendations for tires? I can't remember the size offhand, but I think they are 16" rims.
