Re: Tires again.
jjj wrote: Getting ready for replacement tires for the fiver. Michelin tires sidewalls prematurely failed according to Americas tires. Due to health issues could not get 3 back to them for replacements. They replaced one under their warranty. Now looking for new ones. I have been looking at GY Endurance but also see Americas tires Hartland. They are steel interior and read the are made to their standards even though they are China tires which I do not care for. I was wondering if anyone has tried their Hartland tire and if so what success you have had. Working on a budget and 400.00 less then GY Endurance but still don't want to get stuck with junk if I don't have too. Our first rig had 16" wheels, and we tried the greenball towmasters(ST) from costco. Always carried a tire gauge and ensured, psi matched the sidewall pressure. If I remember correctly, the warranty was 2 or 3 years, plus costco's return policy, but never used it. Replaced them after 4 years, on two consecutive sets. Michellins are known for seperating sidewalls on our other rigs, they replaced them, but its a hassle. If you can beef them up, try a commercial wheel and tire.220Views0likes0CommentsRe: LT tires for 5th

Our rig came with 17"ST commercial tires, I dont think the 17 lt tires would hold up very well with 16K gvwr407Views0likes0Comments
