Brain Teazer

I have a Tri-axel trailer, which i run fully loaded so all wheels are on the ground weekly from A to B to A, which is a distance of 1585 miles one way , on the return journey we come back empty so axels 1 & 3 lift and only axel 2 is on the ground. We do this trip 48 times a year, the driver gets 2 weeks of for Christmas :blush: . Every 3rd week we rotate the tires on the axels so they all get an equal turn at being on axel 2 . My question is how many miles does each tire do after 4 years of this ā– ā– ?
Hopefully this will give some of those over enthusiastic ā€œBrainsā€ something to think about instead of bloody tarpsā€¦ :laughing:

did you buy these tires at Fleetpro ?

And I thought the question would be ā€¦ 'How do you spell ā€˜Teaser ?ā€™ ā€¦ :laughing:

i will ask kerri, then we will all know the correct answer! ( are we allowed to cheat?)

405760 miles each. God, I need a lifeā€¦

You are not supposed to wait Steve, you just post an answer that you wantedto hear whether it is correct or not :wink:

They all do the same distance (just not always touching the ground).

We can be pedantic about Tire. Lots of stuff on tā€™interbox.

When we used wooden wheels and spokes, they devised a way of making then last longer with a iron cap, they encased the entire caboodle with a beaten steel ring known as a TIE. This became known as a TIER

This got corrupted to TIRE and in the UK it was only when one of the ā€œtwoā€ Scotsmen put wind in it that it became known as Tyre. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica. Tire is the more correct term.

However I am a Englishman who prefers and will always use Tyres on any vehicle I drive or ride :laughing:

I think the more correct BANDEN (D) or BAND (NL) describes the product better than the French PNEUMATIQUES or PNEUS. The Polish word is OPON which I can understand, and many Balkan countries rely on GUMI or GUMO to support their lorries :stuck_out_tongue:

Donā€™t you wish you hadnā€™t started this :question: :laughing:

\according to Wiki! :stuck_out_tongue:

A tire (in American English and Canadian English) or tyre (in British English, New Zealand English, Australian English and others

You say either I say either lets call the whole thing off! Not as effective written down :smiley:
