Tow Master Tires

OK thanks...my previous tires must have been "d" as I was religious about 65 psi. Thanks!

Isn't the max/recommended pressure on an ST 65 psi?

Depends on the load rating.

LRD - 65 PSI
LRE - 80 PSI

Just had our third blowout in three trips with our 5er. The tires range from 1 1/2 years old to 10 months old. Two happened this summer in 100+ degree weather. Yesterday's happened in cool weather. Trailer is not overloaded. Tires are ALWAYS inflated to 80 lbs. and I tow at not more than 60 mph. Blowouts have occurred in all but one wheel location. No unusual tread wear on tires.

Anyone else having issues with these tires? Thinking of Maxxis tires next. Thoughts????

Had my first blowout with 2 yr old Towmaster's LRE (15" rims). Took out my fender skirt but didn't do too much damage otherwise. Replaced all 4 with the same as it was the only tire available. Funny thing is, I picked a remaining tire to use as a spare and it popped just sitting along side my house.

Had 2 Maxxis LRE's with sidewall separation issues (within miles of each other) and they were also around the two year old mark. Discount replaced all 4 under warranty (remaining 2 were looking bad).

I have been weighed and know I'm only putting about 1975 lbs on each tire. I also run a PressurePro and keep the tires inflated to max pressure. Had my axle alignment checked and they were fine.

Switched to LT's and keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck,

I have had no issues with Tow Master tires but will likely go with Maxxis next time. Tow Master tires seem to be holding up better than the OEM GYM's that were on the coach new. Had rotting valve stems and deep sidewall cracks in two tires within two years. Lots of tread left, but the GYM's were history.

For sure you need to rid yourself of the "Blow Master" tires. Maxxis currently makes the best ST tire IMO. You didn't give any info on your trailer but LT tires may be an option depending on the size and wheel/tire space available.
