Minimum Clearance Between Tires on Dual Axle Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a dual axle travel trailer. Presently have st205/75R14 tires which give me approx. 2,5 inches of space between tires. Want to go to st215/75r14 which will leave me approx. 1 inch of tire seperation between the dual tries. The question is : what is the recomended spacing , Is 1 one inch too close ???

At the very least there should be 2 inches between the tires on a dual axle trailer. This will allow the suspension components room to work properly. I have included links to some of our FAQ articles on tires for you to check out as well.

We do not carry the Pullrite brand fifth wheel hitches. We do carry the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch #DM8550038, which is rated for 21,000 lbs and is confirmed to fit the factory puck system in the 2024 Ford F-350. This is a great option if you…
