It is acceptable to install tubeless radial truck tires on any position in application as long the have same outside diameter.?

It is not advisable to install tubeless radial truck tires on any position in an application as long as the have the same outside diameter. The position of the tire on the vehicle affects the performance and safety of the vehicle. Steering tires, drive tires, and trailer tires have different requirements and specifications, and using a tire in the wrong position can lead to premature wear, reduced performance, and potential safety hazards.

For example, steering tires are designed to provide precise handling and control, while drive tires are designed to provide traction and power. Using a steering tire in the drive position or vice versa can compromise the vehicle's handling and performance. Similarly, using a trailer tire in a steering or drive position can lead to reduced stability and increased risk of accidents.

In addition to the potential safety risks, using tires in the wrong position can also lead to premature wear and reduced tire life. Each tire position has specific load and pressure requirements, and using a tire that is not designed for that position can cause the tire to wear unevenly and prematurely.

Therefore, it is important to follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and use the correct tires in the correct positions to ensure optimal performance, safety, and tire life.
