Is it hard on axles, tires, etc to make tight turns and backs? It's not as if I do it every day but with a long flatbed pickup it's possible to basically spin the trailer in a circle and the tires start to do funny things like toe out and toe in...this is what they are supposed to do correct?

Location: Vermont		Soak the pavement where the tires are going to scuff, and the water will lessen the effects...:)

Location: Missouri		It's not good on hub and bearings, but sometimes is unavoidable. I try not to get into this condition if possible, especially on hard surfaces.

Ditto

I once saw a heavy LQ trailer peel a tire off a rim. It really puts a lot of stress on the running gear.

Location: Tenn/Ala.		And if it is hard enough to peel a tire off of the wheel- fair chance of bending the torsion swing arm also. Have seen it done on large LGs that were loaded and on solid surfaces.
