I'll now be lurking the forums figuring out what new tires to buy. current tires are about 2.5yrs old, this one blew at about 10,500 miles.
Your current tires were almost for sure manufactured off shore. JMO, but I'd recommend you do what many of us have recently done - replaced our off shore bombs with a set of Goodyear Endurance ST rated trailer tires which are manufactured in the US. My size - ST 205/75 R14 - were an upgrade to LR D from the previous LR C bombs that came stock with the trailer. And although I had lucky horseshoes because one of my tires failed on my driveway instead of out on the highway it's still nonetheless an experience I'd just as soon not repeat. The Endurance is worth your consideration. :B
Completely agree, they came with the trailer (bought new from dealer). I've looked at the Goodyear Endurance, but I don't see the right size (ST185/80R13). I suppose I could/should get new wheels too? They are just steel, no fancy upgrade to aluminum alloy or anything. I'll talk to the guys at the tire shop and see. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how I look at it) we're likely done travelling/camping for the season anyway, so I'm in no rush, can wait for whatever needs to be ordered.
