Nobody says that ALL Chinese tires are junk. ALL Chinese made ST trailer tires are junk. That's the difference.
It's been the experience of members of this board that, from our collective, personal experiences with Chinese made trailer tires that we have determined them to be junk. I don't care whose name is on them, how they're made or anything else about them, I'll never use a trailer tire made in China. I've had two blow up on me causing damage to the trailer. They are unreliable and unpredictable.
If you're trying to make a case for the Chinese made ST tire, I doubt you will find too many supporters here. Use the search function in this forum to find more info.
I use Michelin LT truck tires and have never suffered a problem.
Having read his other thread and being the one who made the post I DO NOT think the poster is trying to make a case for Chinese tires. He had a problem and the dealer was pointing him to a particular brand of Chinese made tire.
To the OP I would suggest you search the term CHINA BOMB see if you get enough info.
SOme people are putting LT tires on their rigs instead of ST this is what your guy is trying to do for you. However the Gladiators probably have very little if any QC done in their manufacture (Think generic)
