Wow, I was really surprised with the direction some of the posts went.
For what is worth I will explain my rationale. My trailer is around 10,000 lbs loaded. I feel that I was barely within limits with all four new trailerking tires. After the tire blew the other three tires were forced to carry the increased burden of that weight.
I knew what tires I wanted, and because I am not from the Nashville area I was unsure what dealer would carry the tire(s) I wanted. Therefore; I felt I was taking a risk knowing that the other tires COULD not WOULD blow out due to the increased stress that had been placed on them. Once I got home, I chose to have all four tires replaced for the peace of mind.
One thing that I forgot to add is that when I had tires replaced, the installer told me that Keystone had not placed the proper "hi pressure" valve stems in the rims for the pressure "65psi" I was running my tires at.
