Tires again.....Hartland by Discount Tire

Discount Tire price matched Walmart.com on the E rated Nitto tires for our dually. While talking with the manager, we got around to RV tires. He brought out one of the all steel Hartland tires they carry. Great looking, heavy tire. He tells me they are selling the heck out of them. I'm thinking I'm gonna try a set.(moving from E up to G rated tires. I checked on the availability of the Sailun tires, but they're a no go here. Very little mention of Hartland tires on the internet. I'm just not willing to pay the price for the GY G rated tires after my friend had two blow.
  • In a few weeks/months I'll be able to report on this topic also. I put a set of Hartland radials on my "new to me" 180CK the day I bought it. I've only put about 20 miles on the trailer since they went on, but I can say that it does feel smoother than it did with the 3 year old Triangle tires that were on it.

    I'll be making a 250 mile trip next week and a 1,500 mile trip next month. Follow ups will be coming....


    And thanks for posting this! It reminded me to go register for the $75 rebate!
  • At Discount Tires, I was offered a Hartland "G load rating", 110 PSI tire, as replacement for a GY 614 that had a blow out. The store didn't have a GY in stock. I had the Hartland mounted on my wheel and took off thinking I really had a good deal since it was about half price of the Goodyear. Before I mounted it, the next day I checked the pressure and it was approximately zero PSI. Discount had not replaced the valve and it was loose. This was NOT the Hartland's fault. The Hartland was a ST tire, though. My rig is spec'd for LT tires. Discount located a GY LT tire across town (Corpus Christi) and I went there, exchanged the Hartland ST for a GY LT and all is good. EXCEPT the GY tear was $411.50 vice $155.84. I would like more usage data on the Hartland also.

  • Limited trip report: I made a 300 mile round trip last weekend with the Hartland tires on my 180CK, loaded to roughly 5k pounds. The outbound trip was early in the morning and had temps in the low 90's. The return trip was Sunday afternoon when Phoenix hit 119 degrees. No issues at all with the tires...there were alligators and broken rigs all over the road on Sunday, but the Hartland tires did just fine.

    1,500 mile trip coming in July. Will follow up after that one is over.
