Does any one know of any Trailer tires made in the US? Or at least decent ones made elsewhere? Thanks for the input and help !!
Although Chinese stuff gets a bad rap.. The main problem is the low standards that ST tires have to meet.
LT tires will solve the problem for sure. Some TTs are easier than others to make the swap on.
Do you have 5 or 6 lug rims? 3500# axles?
I have owned more sets of ST tires for short periods than I can remember. Many brands and load ranges. None made it to the second anniversary.
I am on my second set of LTs. The first set was retired due to AGE!! About 5 years and many rough roads and towing at 75MPH, sometimes a little more.
Read here on this forum many threads about all the precautions that one is supposed to take with ST tires. Slow speeds, no curbing. perfect inflation.. etc. They are to be treated like fine China. LTs can be treated like tires.
