Tires just one more time
This week we'll be buying new tires for our 5er. We have always used Michelin tires on our cars and the TV. But not sure that is the best brand for a trailer. Our trailer has ST235/80R16 tires on it ...

Yeah one big problem with damaged sidewalls with those older ST tires was they were designed with a rounded profile for a soft ride. That rounded sidewall profile along with their daunted narrow tread design leaves the tires sidewall exposed to sidewall cuts between the rim and a curb.....big potholes in the road.....road debris/etc.
The newer gen ST tires now have a flatter sidewall profile which will help in less sidewall cuts and bruising. Ideal sidewall shape will look like the tires on a semi trailer.....very flat vertically.
