tires
Anyone have experience with Tow Max or Trailer King tires for a TT? Its difficult to find tires made in the USA that don't cost a fortune.

When a tire blows on a TT, the damage is often severe. It can run into the thousands. you really can't feel a blown tire on a TT in the TV. So you keep on going with the steel belts ripping your TT apart like a chainsaw.
So a cheap tire, that blows isn't a bargain at all.
Personally, I no longer use ST tires at all. They are pretty much all on the cheap side.
There just isn't any high end ST tires to be had at any price.
LT tires offer a variety of good, better, best along with corrosponding price points.. But any of them are better and more reliable than STs.
A good part of the reason is the govt. test standards, that LT tires must pass. Since LTs are rated for passenger automobile service, their standards are much more severe than what STs have to pass. In fact, it says right on the side of ST tires "Not for passenger car service". You will not find any such warning on the side of an LT tire.
There are many that will say I am full of it. I wish I had all of the money I wasted on ST tires back. That won't happen of course, but I will not waste anymore money on ST tires.
And I will try to keep others from repeating my mistakes.
