Travel Trailer Tires
My TT uses small 14" tires, one of which blew out on a very recent trip. I am wanting info on good/bad tire brands from fellow RVrs. Any suggestions or experiences will be appreciated.

The Kumho 857 is a LT tire for commercial light truck, transporter, van and trailers. Only available in 14", it has an 8ply strength D load range with Q(99mph)speed rating. In 205/R14 it has a max load of 2271 @ 65psi. I had these mounted on 14" aluminum rims rated to 65psi on my 7800# GVWR Keystone Bullet. Got em at Belle Tire. Special order. I put over 5000 miles on them this summer. So far so good.
I just called my local tire dealer, he said none of his suppliers listed the Kumho 857. I was disappointed, that's the way I intended to go. He got me another Load range D in that size, and with a 6000 lb gross trailer, I expect to be OK. I agree, loading and care may be more important than tire brand.
