The fifth wheel is a 28 foot Keystone Cougar. The original tires were 225-75R15, Load Range D.

Every 30 days, I check the pressure in the tires and make sure it's maintained at 70-75 psi. I wipe them down with 303 Aerospace, and keep them covered from direct exposure to the sun.
So now, it appears that Discount is going to replace them with some alternate Chinese tires called "Carlisle".
