Tire concern

^^^^^^^I'd have to agree. My tires blew with less than 8,000 miles and less than 2 years old, so it can happen. However I believe the builders are putting better tires on them than they did 5-8 years ago.

Not absurd at all. Trailer manufacturers use the cheapest, lowest quality tires they can get away with. Like the other poster, from experience I know original tires are the poorest quality and most owners are lucky to get one year from them. OP, research those tires and see what the reviews are like then you may want to upgrade anyway. Good luck

The OP hasn't provided the date code for these tires but "China bombs" or not, on a 2017 model trailer they were likely manufactured sometime in 2016, making them little more than 2 yrs old from date of manufacture so to claim these tires "could be near the end. Actually gone past it" is absurd. :S We have no idea what they are, where they were manufactured, but they're certainly not overdue for replacement based on just age. :R

Look at the brand name and post it. I'll bet you have been riding on China Bombs for the last 2 years. Posting from experience...

Then you're okay.

You'll have to be more exact about what a "dimble" is. If you're talking about sidewall undulations like this: Sidewall undulation, those are normal and no cause for concern.

If you're talking about bulges in the sidewall, those are bad.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. It is a Undulation.
