Would you run this tire after a flat

Speaking of taking things in the butt

Wow..talk about misquoting someone

I mean, that is basically what I said you said, so you're not wrong

There was a study done by Michelin that came to this conclusion years ago. Especially in rain you do not want to lose read traction

I went to a Michelin schooling that proved best tires on the rear. Same car same tires just swapped. You’d loose control with bad rear tires. Can’t feel rear til it’s too late

At the risk of coming across as a dickhead know-it-all...y'all please stop saying to run it on the rear. If the concern is that the plug will loosen or not seal properly and result in a leak (by far the most likely outcome), it doesn't matter which end it is on. But if the concern is that it will SPLODE! then it's a hell of a lot better to be on the front. If a front blows, you have decreased steering capability and signifcantly decreased precision, but you are still able to control the front end of the vehicle, and the rear is stable. If a rear blows, you have no control of the rear, and any reaction in the front can elicit an uncontrollable swerve that is likely to result in complete loss of control and roll over. Basically the tail wags the dog and you might die.

Yep which is why I said:

But I’d run it on the front.
Front tire gets low - I can feel the pull. Rear not so much. Front tire blows I can steer the rim. Rear not so much

So, to clarify you want him to run the sketch tire on the rear, mmmkaaay

It’s funny cause a commercial truck is the exact opposite which is why they allow caps on the drives but the steers have to be matched virgin runner… but I’m sure 80k+ is safer than a 3/4 ton truck. Bus o’ orphan nuns be damned

Road tractor is totally different for 3 reasons.
1 - Increased side wall height, means more lean/pull
2- Trailer actually can "carry" the rear tractor some.
3 - dual tandems on rear
