TT tire pressure - sticker or tire PSI?

Rotate it out to the spare. Get 1 tire, 3 years should be fine, just check the pressure on them before heading out on a trip.

OK so I'm either going to do what vahalla suggests (E to spare and get a D, less $$) or go all E like time2roll suggests (put a good D on the spare, more $$$).

Seems a shame to get rid of tires with no wear on them, maybe 10,000 total miles, but then I'm gonna have to get rid of them in 2 years anyway. Have to call my tire dealer and see what is what. Thanks for the input.

So I think I'll have a beer.

We lets think about your rims as well? Steel, or aluminum? What is the tire pressure they are rated for. As you mentioned the original spare was a C with a max PSI of 50LB. Can your rims handle 80 PSI? I would just get 4 new Ds and be done with it, and they would be good Ds as well. Either MAXXIS, or Endurance.. not cheap china tires. and sir them to the sidewall max

Tire date is 0817, so 3 years old, which makes sense since this is a 2018 TT.

The sticker says D tire. Good Sam guy installed an E. I figured E was better than D, but at this point I didn't have any choice: he was here, he had a tire that fit, I had no spare. Dumb me.

The spare that came with the trailer was an old C rated tire, which I intended to replace the day I found out, but due to covid insanity, family insanity, and my own insanity, forgot to take care of it.



I'm thinking I should put all my D tires to 65 per sticker and on tire sidewall, like I have done for the previous 7000 miles. And pump the E tire up to 70 and hope for the best.

Put the E on the spare tire rim and get a new D if the others are only 3yrs old and appear to be in good condition otherwise...but keep a close eye on the others and plan in about 2-4yrs replacing the other 3 regardless of miles.

When you did the 30mile trip, did you check the pressure before departure? Was there any sign of a nail or other road damage causing the failure?

3 years is the life of a trailer tire that sits alot. I have blown 3 trailer tires perfectly aired up. All 3 were at the beginning of their 3rd year. I will never again run a triler tire into it's 5th year.

I am thinking three more E tires all at 75-80 psi.

If the tire blew sitting, it was aged out. The others are all the same age. I would replace the other 3 with the same tire you already have put on. Otherwise, you are playing Russian Roulette. A tire blowing at 60+ mph can do a lot of damage to your trailer. A LOT!

How old are the tires? And I wouldnt mix and match ratings or type. Did you need an e rated tire? I would also use the tire info, as its diffrent now that you changed it. This is going to be a long thread with lots of opinions. Lol.

yes, 3Ds and the 1 E. The one D blew out AFTER the trailer sat for a year, and we took a short 30 mile trip to check things out. Also, I'm in FL and it is HOT. That is when it blew, luckily at the campground we were going to stay 2 nights, not on the highway or on the driveway.

Also, to complain, the mobile tire guy charged me $139 mounting fee on top of the tire cost, with Good Sam roadside insurance paying the "rest".
