Forum Discussion
More arguments that have no relevance to the light weight travel trailer market that this forum is all about…
No light weight travel trailers offer LTs as standard OE tires and I doubt if any even offer them as an option… the only exception might be for off road versions that may use an aggressive tread pattern…
If you want to argue what heavy fifth wheel trailers MIGHT OFFER and only might offer, it would be best made in the 5er forums where they carry some relevance and meaning…
but all you are doing here is mudding the water to support your beliefs, and adding to the confusion to the topic of tires for light duty trailers (under 10,000 pounds) as ALMOST all travel trailers are…
while the concerns may be similar for the larger high end trailers, the solutions are far different in most TT applications and can be much more expensive or even near impossible for many to have the same options as a 15,000+ pound 5er…
you would do the TT forum a service to not even post unrelated rhetoric that has little to no meaning here… it only serves to confuse the issue for those trying to come up with realistic solutions to their own issues…
as far as the ST LT debate most RVers I have met and talked to are not even aware there is a tire issue and have never had a issue of their own…
I myself have used exclusively ST tires on multiple trailers without a single failure over many years and thousands upon thousands of miles, and I believe those having multiple failures need to look within to find the real problem, or spend thousands raising the trailer and upgrading hubs, wheels and tires to a point where even they can’t destroy them… which it seems is one option being offered by some… I will point out it is one that will work if you have a oversized wallet…
I think I am going to go and mod my golf cart with a lift kit, 16” wheels and XPS tires so I never have another flat tire again… but I will talk about that in a golf cart forum or in the around the campfire forum…
