Can Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire Be Re-Mounted To Preserve Tire?

Question:

My boat trailer is a little over loaded. That causes trailer tires’ inner edges worn more faster. I am wondering whether I can take this tire TTWTRTM2157514D off the rim, flip the tire, and mount tire to rim again, so that inner edge becomes outter edge.

I talked with our tire expert and he told me you can re-mount Taskmaster ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire and Wheel # TTWTRTM2157514D on rims so that the worn area is on the opposite side. You will want to monitor the tires and keep track of the wear on them after changing them.

The excessive weight will cause your tires to run more hot and could result in a blown tire. Please ensure that you are not loading them with more weight than they (and/or your trailer axle) is rated for.

You may want to look into evenly loading the trailer because these tires wearing out can be the start of your issues. Reach out to me if you need assistance getting the trailer balanced.
