Lawfully.... No !!!

How many times while driving on a highway have you seen peices of a tire strewn on the pavement? That's from a rear tire and even then would be difficult to control the vehicle in a safe manner to the shoulder and stop. Think what would happen if it occurred on a steering tire? Hello ??!, steering tire ! does that raise any questions or ideas ?

Better check your DOT manal, you can run recaps on anything but the steers of a bus...

It varies by state in accordance with wheelbase, what type of axle and tires used (e.g., dual tires or 445 'super singles' on a 20k axle vs. a lesser rated steering pusher with 285s), whether it's on a primary or secondary road, etc.


What is a tandem truck?

A tandem truck usually refers to the amount of axles on the trailer or tractor. A single drive axle on a tractor would be referred to as a single, or the same for one axle on the trailer. I have seen it referred to the amount of tires on the end of an axle. When there are two tires on the end of the axle, that would be referred to as a dual, not a tandem.


What is a tri-axle dump truck?

It's a dump truck with four axles--the steer axle in front and three axles in back. One of them moves up and down via a control in the cab, so the tires aren't on the road if the truck's not loaded. A tri-axle dump truck carries more weight than a one-axle or two-axle truck.
