New boots tomorrow!

Yeah, well they're still made in China (BOOM!!). Let us know how they work out for ya.

Why Westlake Tires?

What size tire.......and load rating/psi?

Wow, you appear to have 8 lug wheels, so 16". Why not some Sailun S367's? They come in ST235/80R16G's also now, which match the diameter of china bombs.

Pictures of the new boots required!!!

I, for one, love Westlake tires.

Nothing compares to G rated tires but I had Westlake Es on my Work & Play for 8000 miles and they were flawless. I use them on my landscape equipment trailers.

As with other brands, keep them out of constant direct sunlight when stored and maintain 80 psi.

We run the west lakes on our equipent trailers, my small deck and my dually deck take a beating and the Westlakes take a lot of abuse. Most of the tradesmen with overweight covered trailers swear by these as well

My dual deck loaded is 33k pounds on the axels, and I regularly get that thing into a jack knife where I'm skidding it around on gravel roads in cottage country... I can't believe the abuse they take.

With all the gravel road abuse I don't epect much mileage out out of any of my truck or trailer tires, if I see 20k miles I'm good.

They certainly could stand more than 80 psi since they are "G" rated tires, and 110 psi rated.

Sailun are also made in China and they have an excellent track record.

Any tire made in China is a "China bomb" and I'll avoid them at all expense. Sailun was on the short list but after I found out they're made in China they are no longer an option.

So what tires on your list of approved tires?
