Les Schwab Matrix STR
Are any of you familiar with the Les Schwab matrix STR tire. I need to replace all four tires on my travel trailer and was looking for feedback positive or negative. Thanks for your help.

Not familiar with those particular tires but they look comparable to any low/mid grade typical trailer tire. Because they are.
I am very familiar with Les Schwab though, and unless they’re different down there, they have transformed into the biggest overcharging ripoff tire store chain around. (Unless Firestone service centers hasn’t given up that title yet….lol)
Yes whatever you buy from them at an extremely overinflated price will be covered by their tire warranty no problem, but that’s where the good part of that business ends. Only a fool would use Les Schwabs anymore.
And not only do they charge ridiculous amounts and have ridiculous rules about what/how they will repair or replace other components they work on, like brakes, but they basically only sell Chinesuim tires now, for more money than the brand name top quality tires.

I had 2 highway blowouts a year apart with a tandem axel trailer riding on 4 X Goodyear Marathons. All tires were low mileage (<2,000 miles). Switched to Matrix STRs and have had no issues after 4,000 miles. Very satisfied with the upgrade even of the factory is located in China. YMMV.
