Are these tires chinese junk or are they any good ?

Thanks

The DOT code on the sidewall should reveal the country of origin for the tires. Someone once posted a list of the letters and corresponding nation, but can't recall where/which thread on this forum. They are likely Asian in origin (to include China).

If they are of sufficient load capacity for your trailer and show no obvious defects like sidewall bubbles, twist in the tread, I would run them and just keep a good eye on them, mindful that they may not be the best tire available. Keep them inflated to max sidewall pressure (I do on my trailer regardless of how lightly loaded it may be. Never have to worry about air if they're inflated to max cold pressure). Keep your speed at or under 65 mph when towing, don't overload the trailer and see how they do. I have some Asian off brand tire on my TT as OEM tires. No problems to date. Would just be hard for me to pitch a new set of tires because of what might happen. Give 'em a try.
