Very sorry to see your nice trailer tore up. I don't trust any of the tires made in China. My Goodyears have Made in the USA on them. I run Goodyear G614. I will not own anything but these. 110 PSI and built very well. I have had them for almost 5 years and keep the pressures at max prior to leaving for a trip. The down size,,, I will have to pay over $300.00 for 7 tires next spring.
Am I missing something here. $300.00 for 7 tires ??????
Key word: "over"
As in "over" $300, which will certainly be the case whether he's buying good tires or bad ;)
From reading all these threads about tires, I'm quite sure of one thing: trailer tires might fail.
Whether they're made in China, USA, Japan, or the North Pole they might fail.
If you buy ST, LT, bias ply, etc., they might fail.
If you maintain them and always run at specified pressure, they might fail.
Whether you have a TPMS or never check the pressure, they might fail.
Whether you run 10 year old tires 10,000 miles or 2 year old tires for 100 miles, they might fail.
My conclusion: buy the best tire you can afford, maintain them, and invest some quality time in prayer and hope that they don't fail.
