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.

There's two different meanings (and ways to pronounce) "lead", LOL!
Thomas Eagle has deemed himself a Tire Expert - simple as that.
(Thomas - for Thomas Trains for kids - they're *not* "fast" but the wheels/tires are *always* excellent).
Tom is going to flog a dead horse with *treads* thrown from ST tires (pun!) - and endless posts on *threads* along with a plethora of "facts" (no pun!). . . while throwing tires at his own trailer like he had an unlimited supply.
No disrespect to Thomas, he has a nice blog.
Somewhat biased (no pun!), but nice.
He has "tested" (used?) more tires in the shortest time span of anyone on any of these boards. (He said 21 in a 2010 post).
That should count for something!?.:W
