I run Goodyears and get Discount's "warranty" or whatever they call it. I rarely have to pay out of pocket again since the warranty covers replacements from anything but major mileage-related wear. Ive gotten my money back on the investment the 3...-
How do you know? Sorry Dave just being a smart #$$. Back when I had a trailer I would replace one side per year starting at the start of the 3rd season (assuming you bought the trailer new). It made sure I always had somewhat fresh tires on it...

Good point, whenever I have a blowout, the other one of that side gets replaced regardless. Overkill in many cases if you don't go that long with the flat, but in the past when I didn't replace the other, it failed next trip.One has to keep...

Realize that the "good" tire was carrying the whole load on that side of the trailer for quite a distance. Check closely for signs of internal damage, like a blister in the sidewall. You might not tow the same annual distance, but from what the...

...........simple little deal, but when you replace steel valve stems are great idea. Only trailer tire I had them on never had a flat.

I use the Hankooks in my load range G stuff and like them. Much cheaper than Goodyear. I have a tireminder TPMS and it works fine and is nice to monitor pressure and heat. My only complaint is that the safe range seems pretty narrow. My...

I drove for three hours early one morning like this. Had no idea until I stopped for fuel when the sun came up. Absolutely no indication or difference in towing feel.Of course the trailer was old enough that the axle assemblies were no longer...

I think the Hankook Vantra trailer tire is worth a look and on par with the Goodyear. Per a Hankook rep that I interacted with before retiring from Ford Hankook got into the market because they saw an opportunity to offer a better alternative...

I'm still relatively new to long-distance trailer towing. I have about 12K miles on my 2019 24' ATC trailer. A few weeks back, I pulled into a paddock parking slot at a Laguna Seca track day. As I exited my truck, my neighbor said Hello and then...

Bugs replied to the thread Falken RT660: recommendations for 18x11 Apex wheels.Just one more data point regarding the Falken RT660's. Last month, I installed my second set of RT660's for a two day event at Laguna Seca. I have seen no issues with either set (so far). (see full post)

More track focused tires will also aid you in the braking zone. I run Falken RT660 (200tw) for dampish conditions, green track or rain coming but they’re also pretty good in the dry. I run the Michelin cup 2’s (180tw) in the sunny, dry, no chance...

I expected it to end well. It’s been there since 1957 and is a world famous venue. Draws a lot of people to the area.
