Ridgeway Sport ST Tires?

[Teoma]

Anyone have any first hand experience with Ridgeway Sport ST 205/75 14inch bias tires? I just bought a new Wildwood TT and those are the tires. The Date of Manuf of the tires is early March 2015, they have about 200 miles on them. My wife and I will be taking a 6 week 4000 mile trip in the next few weeks and I debating with myself about upgrading to Maxxis tires before we leave or gamble with whats on there.
Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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.
