Best Answer

The tyre sizes won't match up with the rims you're using for your drives and trailer. Typically, a tractor-trailer will use 11R22.5 tyres for the drives and trailer (some owner-operators choose to get 11R24.5 tyres for their drives, instead). A steer tyre for a normal five axle unit is 315/85R22.5. You could use it legally if you wanted to, but you would have to change all of your rims out, as well.

The tractor has ten wheels with two on the front axle and four on each drive axle in the rear. The trailer has two axles with 4 wheels each. The tractor and trailer together are informally called a rig. Is that what you were after?
