Good decision getting those "Delivery" tires off your new toy hauler. When camping last weekend a couple pulled in with a brand new triple axle TH they had taken delivery of the previous day with six Power King Tow Max balloon's, opps I meant tires on it.
In the seasonal section of the park I noticed a new park model with 2 large sliding patio doors in it had arrived recently with, wait a minute you guess it Power King Towmax tires under it.
Now you tell me how many miles that park model will be towed compared to how manys miles the TH will likely be towed.
Anyone purchasing a trailer new or used which they don't plan on using as a seasonal camper needs to get the cheapest bidder sourced "delivery" tires off their new vehicle and install a quality tire if they want to avoid tire failures and vehicle damage.
Why do I call them delivery tires you ask? Because that's all the manufacturer is concerned about.
The manufacturers don't know how many miles each individual unit they build will be towed and therefore they see no business reason to install any other than the cheapest tire for delivery to the dealer lot.
Once it is sitting on a dealer lot it is the buyers responsibility to ensure it has got the appropriate tires on it for their own purposes for the trailer.
This is where consumer education and forums likes this are invaluable for new owners.
