Every newbie who comes on this forum should be advised to immediately, upon buying a new trailer, get new tires and throw away the junk the manufacturers put on! Manufacturers get bids for everything, tires included. The lowest bid gets to install all the tires. Does anyone think the lowest bid is the best and safest tire!?
I had a new Open Range (now Highland Ridge) and luckily had a TPMS when the alarm sounded during a long trip. We only had less than a year and a half and 12,000 miles on these tires.
I spoke to the VP of Open Range and pleaded to get rid of the **** tires they put on their trailers so new buyers don't experience what most of us here have. To this day, I am sure they still do business with Lions Head (the supplier of tires).
Best thing to do is get reputable quality tires by doing research and a TPMS.
