tire time

After my last blowout, I upgraded the China bomb tires from the factory with Tires Hercules LT 235/85R16 H-901 DOT LYC B2RLHE LOAD RANGE G tires. We bought them in TN at the Farmer’s CO-OP in Sevierville. The sidewall is 110 PSI cold but I follow the PSI recommended for the FW which is 85 PSI cold. I have been very pleased with these tires.

Buy a LT (truck) tire instead of a ST (trailer} tire.

You only buy tires after a blow out?

How about post the tire size and the trailer GVWR?

Depends on what your trailers OEM axle ratings are.

For 5.2k-6k axle I use a good all season tread 16" LT235/85-16 E at 3042 lbs per tire. Michelin XPS Ribs and Bridgestone R238 are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire and are tops for those size axles

For My triaxle GN stock trailer with 7k axles I use Sailun S637 ST235/80-16 load G tire at max sidewall. In a heavy tire like a load G I personally wouldn't use any pressure less than 90 psi. Those are a very heavy stiff commercial grade tire and like all commercial grade tires they can run hot with lower pressures.

What ever tire that lasted 39 years I would stick with that brand...:B

I happen to think that it isn't necessary to run max sidewall pressure for a tire. IMO you can vary your pressure to reflect the amount of weight on that tire. I ran "G" rated Sailun 16" tires at 95 psi for years, and they still looked good when I sold the trailer, and they were over 6 years old. I was running a triple axle toyhauler with about 2,500 lbs. on each tire, I weighed them so I know. I didn't need to the full 110 psi, and the resultant rough ride. It worked great for me.
