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.
- Well, all ST (trailer) tires are now made in China (maybe one in Korea, feel free to correct).
I recently needed to buy some new tires, and the Gladiator brand gets good reviews. I guess I'll know later, but that's what I chose. The ones I got were rated to 87 MPH, and 40% more than the load I expect to carry. So, their rating has plenty of margin for how they'll actually be used. I'm hoping that will mean a long and troublefree life.
