I have used all manner of Chinese tires. The trailer weighs 5,000 pounds. I have pulled from Utah to the East Coast and back without a single issue. I have had no troubles with any Chinese tires I have used. I have used at LEAST 4 DIFFERENT BRANDS. I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE NYLON CAP. I DON'T CURB HOP, RUN OVER 65 MPH, DO TIGHT TURNS, AND ALWAYS CHECK MY INFLATION.
According to some I am so lucky I should buy a lottery ticket! I suspect it just common sense.
The last tries were Greenball @ $68.00/each plus install.
From 2006 to 2021, I did all of those bad things and more to my TTs tires without a single issue.
Since I am in Phoenix AZ, which is brutal on rubber, I do not push the age. I get new tires every 5 years... Other than that, my secret??? I ran LT tires. Michelin XPS RIBS. I abused the snot out of them and they took it in stride.
Go with LTs and stop making excuses for your tires.
Reading comprehension….
A. He’s not making excuses, unless you mean making excuses for how WELL his tire have held up.
B. LT tires for 14” trailer rims? You’re way off base here. Even if 15”. LT tires don’t become viable, readily available or available at all until the 16” and up sizes.
