are the front tires steerable?

No, they are not. It's a terrible design. The trailer kept falling off. I returned it but was not refunded.

I'm not really sure. I bought the truck several years ago. My son was probably 5. I do remember it being very small. It didn't last very long. But then again it was for my 5 year old son so you cam imagine the wear and tear.

No. But, sooo glad you asked. Don't buy this thing. It's a piece of junk. It has small parts that fall off and it's really flimsy. We threw this toy out.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

The back wheels are stationary. Only the front wheels turn. However, my granddaughter had no problem turning in any direction she wanted.

no. the handle bars are fixed to the forks that are mounted to the front tire like a regular bike.

Yes, front wheel drive. Works great. Balance is different from a 2 wheel bike. My husband loves his.

True the front tire/handlebars do not turn for steering but that never stopped our child from loving this. When he was small riding inside he did go in a straight line between Mom and dad before he could push himself along with no assistance. Now that he is taller he pushes himself all over and just puts his feet down and slides or lifts the front end to turn around as it is really light. If you want something that turns buy a Strider bike which we also own and love. The difference is the Step 2 is very stable because of its wide tires and and fact the front does not turn, while the Strider has more like bicycle tires and steering. Our son in his 2s rides both all the time and likes them equally. True the front tire/handlebars do not turn for steering but that never stopped our child from loving this.

Yes. The handle bars move with front 2 wheels. I'd say its about a 45 degree turn. Perfect, really. Doesn't tip easily.

They only go on the rear side of the wheel well....for front and back tires

Yes, it's steerable, but with a wide radius. For tight turns, I lift the handle bars a little and then aim it in the direction I want to go. I've been using mine for about nine weeks and haven't regretted it at all.

Only the front wheels swivel. The back ones do not, but it maneuvers very well.

Not for the front, but for the rear wheels Yes. You'll need plenty of room to drill holes.

Yes. I also have the step bars and the flaps installed very easily. On the front just turn the tire to have open access to the wheel well to install.

No, but like anything, it takes some practice. The controls are really sensitive. Make sure you have a lot of room as this thing flies like the wind and bounces great with those tires. Lots of room will help you get used to the steering as well. The big issue I had was charging the battery and turning the car on for its initial run. Once you figure it out, it's easy enough. My son was eight when we got it and he was fine driving it. He crashed it, of course, but when he drove, he did a good job. Be prepared to buy replacement parts. They aren't expensive, but they take talent to put on.

No, them have a different sidewall than these. These have the traditional sidewall. Good tires tho !!

My short answer is yes. The tires are large enough in diameter that it rolls well in a straight direction. They do not caster or turn however so you have to sort of skid it sideways to make it change direction. This does increase difficulty in grass or other vegetation. Hope this helps.

I just switched them around last night (front to back) and there is NO spin direction indicated on the tire. They have been great tires for hundreds of miles.

I put the tire on both front and back and they work fine. Although, riding surface does matter. The tire seems to create friction on hard surfaces due to soft tire nubs.
