Westlake tires?

Hi Tara, With all the foreign tire MFG's out there not really sure of that brand, we know about the blowouts first hand as well. We have switched to Sailun brand. and just found out that Goodyear just cam out with a US MADE trailer tire, We are waiting for the all the feed back on them. If its good we will switch to them when we have to get new tires. Time will tell. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!

"Goodyear just cam out with a US MADE trailer tire"

Besides the 16" "G" or 17.5" "H" tire that are US Made what are you referring to?

4 years

The industry says 3-5 years for ST (special trailer) tires. I assume your tires are ST type. However Westlake has P and LT tires also and had some recalled some time back.
Just because they "look" good doesn't mean much as you and many folks with large 5th wheel trailers and 80psi ST E Westlake tires found out.

Trailer tires don't carry a mileage recommendation/warranty and may last 6k-8k or 16k-18k miles on heavy trailers. If you don't know how to check for what to look for have a tire dealer with trailer experience check them out.

Thanks, I did after posting.

Thanks everyone! Yep we will definitely check out Goodyear. Didn't know about these. We do have over 10,000 on original tires. Tara

You may want to also check out the Sailun S637. Yes they are made in China but they are an excellent tire that is much easier on the pocketbook than the Goodyear offerings. There are several members on here running them including myself and I have yet to read the first negative issue with them.

I would replace those tires ASAP. Having good tires is relatively cheap insurance compared to having a failure and damaging your new trailer not to mention the safety aspect of changing a tire beside a busy freeway.

Tara, I have almost 12,000 on mine. I am planning to put another 1,500 before replacing them some time this summer. Make sure you check the air pressure before leaving on any trip. That's what I do.

I have a '15 Grand Design. The date on the Westlakes were Feb. 2014. Thats 3 years. There was enough chatter about the reliability of the Westlakes combined with the age that I changed them out last week.
