Huntindog, My 215 tires, upsized from 205 are already less than an inch apart. Nowhere could I find a "spec" for this. Seems a wee bit close already...
GMW, those didn't come up in any of my searches. Thanks for the links... Probably better than any trailer tire, and Load D makes them in the right range. They are comparable in price.

I had a "tire man" tell me that all ST tires are made in China. I'm not interested in unsupported opinions, but if someone actually knows if this is true or not, lets hear from you. I use Firestone 10ply LT tires on my trailer.

Your "tire man" needs a new line of work, seeing as he doesn't have a clue about the industry.
Got to love people that don't understand what they are reading.
Where did I say that I knew more than that "tire man".
Reading comprehension makes all the difference in the world, try reading what I posted again. Then you just may understand what I was saying. :R

1. LT tires usually have better tread and will resist punctures and heat better IF they are rated for the load you need to carry. Sadly, the only 14" LT tires out there are General Grabbers (LT8.5/70.14) but only had a 1,520 lb weight rating. The ST's that are closest in size are 1,870 lbs. I couldn't even go to 15's because my axles are too close together. Wheel well was no problem. Something to think about if you are considering a larger rim and don't have one of the newer spread axle trailers.

Nope, not accurate. Here's an example. Some years back Trek Bike moved their manufacturing to China. Being from Wisconsin where Trek is headquartered I was not happy about this. A few years ago we bought new bikes, they are Treks. They are every bit as good of quality as they always have been.
So it's not "if", it's about contracts, expectations, and standards. The "ifs" come in when we are willing to accept the cheapest prices on our new rigs. That said US consumers are every bit to blame for the lack of quality as the Chinese manufacturers.

Final assembly in Thailand, using Chinese made components.
I took a look at their website and didn't see any of the information you gave. Maybe you could site it or provide a link to where you're getting this information.
