13 year old trailer tires..
Well I finally got chit from the DW.. When I told her out trailer tires were from 2003 she got concerned.. I bit the bullet an replaced. If it was up to me I would have waited for a blow out.. LOLOL ...

I see that the original tires were indeed dry-rotted. It might be interesting where they were made, Goodyear moved production to China and quality was bad so they moved back to the USA for awhile, now it is back in China.
Karrier is not a tire that I would choose.
The brakes have a lot of life left in them, no need to replace.
However Kenda tires are good tires. There's a lot worse China bombs out there than Kendas. GY Marathons to name one.
I have good experience with Kendas on 2 different tandem axle trailers now and I'm not easy on tires. Run em 75-80 mph down the freeway 100deg or -20, then bomb off on a forest road, ruts, potholes, bumps, trips up the Alcan, etc. They have held up as well as any Kumho tire I've had which are generally regarded as the gold standard for light trailer tires.
OP made a good choice imo.
Yes I put 4 new Kenda Karriers on.. So kenda makes the karrier so not sure what you mean..
These were 79 bucks from the local auto store.
