  1. Humbly disagree. If three axles were better you would see them on commercial or equipment trailers. Everytime we made a turn a black mark would be left on the pavement from the shearing of the forces on the rear tires. BUT at least we agree trailer tires are junk! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
  2. We owned a Raptor 3 axle toyhauler and pulled it over 110,000 miles before we sold it. While there is the safety feature of 3 axles there is another major problem. The third axle, furtherst to the rear, scrubs the tire everytime you make a turn. Over a SHORT period of time this tears the tire apart internally. We have 11 tires failures, Maxxis E rated, over the 110,000 miles. Got to the point of running my hands over the rear tires EVERYTIME we stopped. I caught every failure before a blow-out thus no body damage but started carrying two spares as we did have trips where we had two failures on a single trip. Finally changed out to 16" rims so I could run LT tires. Sold the toyhualer shortly afterwards so don't know how the change would have preformed over time. I recommend two axles and would never own 3 axles again. At a minimun make sure you have 16" rims so you can run LT tires. Trailers tires for the most part are Junk. JMHO! rocmoc n AZ/Mexico
