tires

Go to the Heartland owners forum and type in Towmax tires and check out all the pictures of damage from blowouts with Towmax tires. They used to put them on all their trailers because they were so cheap. So many failures and threatened lawsuits and they now only put them on their lightest trailers. My tire dealer quit selling them because he had so many customers that came back angry from the damage from blowouts. Every once in a while I see someone that has had good luck with them but many many more that were very dissapointed. They're cheap for a reason.

The China bomb era ended in about 2012 or so. Some folks didn't get the memo.

It is true the that performance characteristic of the high dollar tires include improved speed rating, improved compounds and more efficient tread designs. That plus the fact that they are a low volume is why they cost more.

The TT and 5ver OEM market has consumed over 2,000,000 tires annually for the last four years, add the horses, utility and large boat trailers and they have quite a track record. I doubt any of the high dollar tires have sold a million units yet.

To answer your question, I replaced my seven year old OEM tires with Tow Max tires 18,000 miles ago. I did purchase based on my local tire shop's recommendations, rather then Wal-Mart or TSC type stores.

However, in the end, facts are only facts but the choice of tires is based on your personal comfort level.

Good luck

I don't run cheap tires, Goodyear Wrangler HT in the size of LT215/75-15 might be a good idea. You didn't post the size you currently have.

No one said an RV was cheap did they?

Don't bother with Tow Max or Trailer King, go with the tried and true Carlisle Radial Trail HD.

Doesn't matter the brand name, if it's made in China it's a bomb waiting to explode on you. If you want cheap then buy cheap and that would be Made in China tires. Only USA made trailer tire is the Goodyear Endurance. Haven't priced Endurance but that's where I'd put my money if I wasn't running truck tires on my trailer.
