But you frequently object to putting an XPS Rib on a 6K axle. According to the "fitment regulations" this is allowed. First you say you are going to upgrade to 17.5 inch tires, then you are going to stick with Towmaster ST. Recently you told me your trailer came with Marathon ST tires rated at 3000 pounds each from the factory, but then in other posts you have told me your axles are rated 67xx pounds. Its like watching a tennis match. Which way are you going to go tommorrow?
ERS, you have to factor in the fact that a set of XPS RIBs will out live two or three sets of ST and still have a remaining resale value. That cuts into sales of ST tires and his ST tire agenda.
It is difficult to understand someone that has had 23 or 24 ST tires on a single 2003 trailer wanting others to follow his lead. But if it is all about sales, this is what we get time and again from him. That raises huge questions about motive and/or compensation. Nothing else quite explains it.
