What kind of tire life are you guys that run LT tires getting?
Had set of Uniroyal Laredos on a trailer and they were from the 80s and replaced them around 2009. Still had tread but rubber got rock hard
Same here with an old set of Laredos on one of our horse trailers. Had probably about 50K miles. Still had tread, but were hard and weather cracking. They were over ten years old. Replaced with F-stone Transforce about five years ago, and these have about 20K miles and still look new.
The LT's on my travel trailer are five years old now and have about 50K miles. About half the tread remains.
The LT's ( GY Wrangler HT ) on my other horse trailer are only two years old ( put on to replace the Provider ST's when the trailer was new ) and only have about 10K miles, so it's hard to make a judgement on their life as of now.
Few people, even fairly high mileage users will wear out a LT on a travel trailer. Most likely will age them out at 8 to 10 years.
Yup loved those Laredos.
I have a livestock trailer that is almost 10 years old that came new with off brand LTs. Plenty of loaded miles and they are showing some wear but are holding up well.
