Hartland ST Tires

[Etstorm]

Anyone have any feedback on the Hartland Tires. Pickup up a used fifth wheel and going to change out the tires. Guy at Discount said they were new to the marker but very good................ and sure I can tow that with this!

I would go with a PROVEN LT or ST load G tire for that price.

Someone says "Only ST tire with consistent positive reviews are Maxxis 8008."
With over 30 Maxxis ST tire complaints IMO is hardly positive.

Check around the net on the many different haulers and rv forums for any tires track record rather than what some think on just one rv forum.

I did and they seem to have good reviews both FG and commercial use

LOL..... this is how rumors get started.
Having been out less than a year they have no mileage or years of service track record for a trailer owner to make a informed decision. They simply haven't been out long enough for a proper service reviews.

I use three different haulers forums and non have even mentioned a Hartland tire.

What is a FG ??

Use what ever brand you wish...I run Maxxis in the ST configuration with good luck in an E rated tire. Others have had good luck with other brands. All the brands started out new at some point. I like the idea of a higher speed rating even though Maxxis says theirs are tested to 75mph they have to rate them at 65 due to legal agreements. I also like Discount Tire as I've purchased all my tires there and believe they know what they are talking about. Maybe a new competitor would be good for the market!

I get the impression that all-steel G-rated tires, in general, have an excellent reputation. Is anyone aware of a failure prone all-steel G-rated tire made by any manufacturer?

Not saying there isn't one. Just curious.

BTW, only referring to all-steel G-rated tires---with steel sidewalls AND steel tread.

I just purchased 4 Hartland G-rated, 14-ply rated, 4080 lb. payload rated, ALL-STEEL versions of the ST235/85/16 from Discount Tire a month or so ago. They're N (87 mph) speed rated---higher than most G-rated ST's. I'm 90 percent sure these particular tires are made by Gladiator. Tread and sidewalls are almost identical. Just put 2500 miles on them. All is well so far.

Don't let the ST designator scare you. These tires weigh a hefty 60 lbs.---they weigh a lot more, and have a much higher payload rating, than any similar-sized, E-rated, LT or ST tire.

DT's asking price for the Hartlands were a bit high (approx. $180). They price matched several G-rated, all-steel 235/85/16's I found online. Got all 4 for ~$640 inc. tax, metal valve stems, mounted, and lifetime balancing.

Depending on which tire, I believe they are an all-steel carcass, and are getting decent reviews here. The =are= a newer tire, so time will tell. Also look at Sailuns; they've been getting excellent reviews here for a couple years, now.

We use Discount Tire for most of our car and truck tires, but they will always recommend tires that gives them the largest profit margin, which of course is their job. Haven't heard of the tires you mentioned, but they and any other reputable tire dealer can get whatever brand you want within a few days. Only ST tire with consistent positive reviews are Maxxis 8008.

If you are looking for tires for the Open Range 5er in your sig, I would suggest going with an LT tire, such a large rig will likely be too much for most any brand ST tire. Michelin X-Ribs or similar built LT tire, although costly, would provide many years of dependable service. A single blowout from a poorly made ST tire can cause thousands in damage.

Several threads discuss those tires. Search Hartland tire.

Are these "E" rated ST tires or "G" rated ST tires. When were these Hartland tires made?

Love Discount tire. They have always treated me very well. But there is no way I would consider a "new" tire name.
