2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
When I bought my 2012 Raptor 365 I had heard/read all about the Towmaster 235/80r16 tires being CHINA BOMBS! But since I have many miles of experience pulling trailers for my other toys.I figured that...

How many posts are we going to see about crappy ST tires? I don't care if they are in 16" size or 15" size. People are fooling themselves trying to run these. It is only a matter of time until you have an issue.
Anyone with a big heavy toyhauler should be converting over to LT tires.
Looka here....RV.net/Toyhaulers has a certified Mr Knowitall on Toyhauler tires :B
Actually, yes. I have had so many PMs over the years asking about LT tires, people thanking me for convincing them to switch over. Sorry you haven't learned that yet.
Keep reading young Jedi and you will figure this out.
Yea i'm a (Young Jedi) at dealing with trailers/ trailers tires.....since the other toys i referred to ride on triple axle boat trailer, in a 28ft enclosed and on 40ft gooseneck to name a few of my trailers!!
I'm thinkin maybe some of u Mr. KnowitAlls oughtta take break from RV.NET and watch lil porn.. :B
Back on topic!!!! If you got CHINA BOMBs on your camper.. Go ahead and replace them with good tire before they go KA BOOOM:)
Since you seem to know what ST tire is a "good tire" please let Us know what brand.
I spent 20 years in tire shops, everything from mounting/balancing them to being the service manager/asst. manager of the store., Add to that another 24+ years working in a fleet of ~ 2000 pieces of equipment that had tires. If there is such a tire, I am not aware of it, I do have many contacts and friends in the industry, seems odd that NONE of them will put ST tires on anything they own. I have another friend who owns a towing company and a big fan of custom and classic cars. He bought a couple of enclosed car haulers so He could transport custom/classic vehicles for some of His clients.
The first thing that gets changed, THE TIRES !!!
One of His clients owns a tire shop, guess where I went for advice on tires. The tire shop guy didn't want to sell Me the tires, He wanted Me to go to a national chain store and get them since I travel and might need warranty service elsewhere. I trust My Friends as well as my own personal experience
