Tire and parts questions

[Fallin22]

Is there a certain ply tire I need for my 30 ft wildwood fsx 2015 year? I need to replace all 4 as they are dry rotted and I am afraid to pull it far. Also is there a website to get miscellaneous replacement parts-for example I need to grates to go over the stove I and a new table top, etc. We just bought our first camper and are learning. Thanks for any info

I got my set of Maxxis from 4wheelonline. Have gone 1800 miles so far with no problems.

Thanks so much for everyone's help!

I had a set of Maxxis and was happy with how they performed. When I went to replace them I was pointed in the direction of the new Carlisle HD tires. I went with a load range E, up from a D, and they ended up costing less than an LRD Maxxi would have run.
Check the maximum weight rating for your trailer and then look at the max rating for the tires you are looking at. Multiply this number by 4 and see if it will cover the weight of your trailer. I also suggest that you have a healthy margin above the trailer weight. Someone said 15%.
The Carlisle is rated at 80mph which I will never get close to. It is nice to have a tire I can exceed 65 though, if only once in a while.

I would stick with a good quality Load Range E tire. Goodyear, Maxxis, and Carlisle Radial Trail all get good reviews. Avoid the cheap "china bomb" tires.

Whatever tire you choose, compare it's load capacity rating to the actual weight of your TT. You want at least 15% reserve load capacity and more is better. More reserve capacity reduces the chance of a tire failure. We have 30% on ours by upgrading one load range higher than the factory OEM LRC. The new Endurance are a good bet and have one load range higher in the equivalent size of an existing tire.

As for misc. parts, dealers can be quite expensive. You might try a local independent RV repair/parts shop if there is one. There are quite a few RV vendors online that can have good prices if you know exactly what to look for. CW can be the most expensive (and usually is). Ebay and Amazon can also be good. You can save a LOT by doing some due diligence online.

I got Goodyear endurance your size and e load range for under $500 out the door and delivered from Simple tire ( online) then had a local shop I trust mount and balance them. $557 total cost

There are only three ST type tires worth buying. Salune, Maxxix, and the new GoodYear Endurance ST tires. Everything else have spotty repitations.

LT tires, any decent brand will do.

LT tires, of the proper size and load rating, are easier to find and usually less expensive.

The original equipment tire size, its load range and recommended inflation pressure will be on the vehicle certification label. That information is also found on the tire/cargo label and in the vehicle owner's manual.

It's recommended to increase the load range with replacement tires if you've suffered early tire failures. It's also recommended to replace the valve stems. Steel ones are the best, especially if you're going to add some kind of tire pressure monitoring system.

I am pleased with Carisle HD after having a Maxxis M8008 tread separate. I also like the higher than 65mph speed rating.

One of these in Load Range E.

Tires are sold by load range.
