Ridgeway Sport ST Tires?

dealers put the cheapest they can buy on the trailers ,upgrade and save a flat or to, when a tire blows,it does thousands of dollars in damage.

Part of the decision whether to change the tires for something else may also depend on how you define "upgrade".

Personally, I would air them up to spec and run them. I've run the China bomb tires for many years and have had very few problems. The brand you mentioned (never heard of them) is a rebadged something else from China, there are dozens of them made by a couple factories over there. They're basically all the same in quality IMO.

Do yourself a favor and change them before it cost you thousands. I tried the suggestion above and tried to run the China bombs because I couldn't see getting rid of brand new tires. 1000 miles in, and the first one let go ripping my fender skirt and electric wires out of the slide. Second one let go about 700 miles later luckily causing no damage. I'm very particular about maintenance and air pressure. My trailer is stored indoors when not in use. Don't make my mistake. Pay 500 now not two thousand later.

Upgrade would be Maxxis or Kumho 857 (anyone know where to buy Kumho 857 tires- I can't find them anywhere). Not may choices in 14 inch tires.
Can I upgrade to 15 inch wheels if I find the same bolt pattern. There is lots of room between the tandem tires.
Thanks

Kuhmo tires you can get at The Tire Rack.

I had them on my previous trailer with great luck will be putting 4 more on my new trailer also.

Kumho 857

I have towed over 250000 miles and never a "China bomb" failure only a US made Goodyear.

Goodyear ST's are made in China.
Get the Kumho's.

Yes, I got my Kumho 857's from Tire Rack.

Another choice could be Hankook RA08 ( not from tire rack though I don't think ).

I like being able to get tires from Tire Rack as they generally have inventory and can ship immediately.

In 15" there is Good Year Cargo G26 ( tire rack ) or Good Year Wrangler HT ( tire rack or any Good Year dealer should be able to order them )
