Truck Tires
Topic 13437 | Page 1
As long as it's the same size and type (radial/ bias ply) it shouldn't make a difference. A tire is a tire, it won't care which wheel/position it is in.
Dont make a difrence for us but what about DOT lol

DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
You can run retreads on drive and trailer tires, but not on steers, steers must be new tires. DOT won't have a problem with a new tire on the drives.

Wrong. You can run a cap on a steer. That is another truck stop rumor. What it specifically states is that you cannot run caps on passenger carrying commercial vehicles. i.e. buses
I would be happy for someone to prove me wrong but I cannot find it anywhere.

You are correct. Can't run recaps on steers of passenger busses. My bad. Thanks for the reminder!
