Open Roads Forum  >  Toy Haulers  > Greenball Tires???? Any good?

Anybody heard of Greenball tires? They any good? How would they compare to a Carlisle? Yeah, I know, another piece of******tire. I'm sitting here off of I-5 in SoCal on the Grapevine with a few chunked remains of one of my Carlisle 225/75-15 E's and a wheel ground down into a frisbee shape, thanks to California's messed up roads. I know the road did it, because I remember the string of potholes that were impossible to see coming in the dark until it was too late. I've put my spare on, and the only tire I can get locally is a Greenball, also load range E, from America's Tire in Lancaster. My other choice is to limp back to Reno to a Les Schwab and get one of their own brand tires for $20 more (probably the same one for all I know). Oh and Big O had a similar tire (store brand) for the same price, but couldn't get a wheel to fit my trailer (6x5.5). So... I'm trying to decide what to do. I'm here to visit the Hungry Valley OHV area for a day or so, so I have some time to think about it. Thoughts?

I think you are left with one option as I see it; buy the tire and finish your trip. Once you’re back home purchase what you want. I would not try and limp anywhere when there is a tire available for you. salem • View posts Central Valley, Ca Senior Member Joined: 05/01/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/16/10 10:59am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I just "googled" them. The reviews by users say to stay away from them. Made in Taiwan. One of the most inexpensive on the market, but for a reason. garym114 • View posts Bluff Dale, Texas Senior Member Joined: 07/24/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/16/10 11:28am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I've got them on my vintage Deere garden tractor.

Mike's Tires is a good source. Mike is a PITA, but his prices are fair and his shop's service is very good. Exit I-5 at Valencia Blvd and turn East. Valencia becomes Soledad Canyon after about three miles. Mike's is on Soledad.

I figured since one had already blown I changed them out with maxxis and went up a load range. We've already taken them to Ark. and back so good so far. The manufactures just put on tires enough to get them off the lot and barely heavy enough. salem • View posts Central Valley, Ca Senior Member Joined: 05/01/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 03/16/10 02:39pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Hey, Harleybass47: What part of the state did you go to back there, if you don't mind me asking?

They were fine until the 10K mark then a blowout, then a big bubble on the sidewall then I bought all new. I have read that any trailer tire is only rated for 10K miles. 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins 2007 Desert Fox 305j 2004 TRX 450r Mine 2005 Yamaha Raptor 350 Wife's 2006 Honda 300ex Sons 2007 Honda 250ex Daughter This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  Toy Haulers  > Greenball Tires????
