You lost me there. Could you be saying take an old front tire to pair with the old dual tire and put the new tire on the front if it’s circumference is within 3/4” of the old front tire?neoflyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850618474839211808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-13323561304101507752013-12-23T20:31:43.757-08:002013-12-23T20:31:43.757-08:00Sorry, thought I provided the info needed. When I ...Sorry, thought I provided the info needed. When I rotated my tires, I simply used a tape measure and rolled the tire as I let the tape out. This established the circumference for that tire. <br />I then selected two pair that were closest for my 2 dual pair.<br />New and old tires will be different, The carcass does grow with use and tires wear at different rates. I also doubt that you can simply use a number of micrometer readings to know the real average tread wear at sufficient accuracy<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-38736006678480784102013-12-22T04:24:45.245-08:002013-12-22T04:24:45.245-08:00So you seem to be saying there is no practical way...So you seem to be saying there is no practical way to measure the tires and therefore you shouldn't install a new tire with a used tire in a dully application?????<br /><br />Assuming the new and old tires are an exact match, as they should be, what about measuring tread depth? If they miss match by more than xx thirty seconds of an inch, don't install them together? Motorhome4Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856407553445165478noreply@blogger.com
