Truck Tires

Steer Tires

• These tires are situated in the front and manage the steering. Any input through the steering wheel will be controlled through them. They are disconnected from the engine to ensure effective steering control. 

Drive Tires

• These are in the middle or near the truck engine. These tires manage the engine output, driving the truck forwards or backwards. These tires aren’t designed to turn like the front steer ones, but simply to rotate forwards or backwards. These are placed near the engine to keep the driveshaft short, and the power input from the engine efficient. 

Trailor Tires

• These tires are placed at the back and manage the control of the trailer. Unlike the steer and drive tires, they only serve to keep the trailer upright. Trailer tires only rotate forwards and backwards, they do not turn sideways and are not connected to the engine.
