Admittedly a lot of us run tire pressure monitors now but I have NEVER seen anybody checking tire pressures in a camp ground. That includes many years before TPMS' were even invented.

Iโll make sure I buy the cheapest tire next time since theyโre all the same and itโs a placebo effect. Same goes for my truck tires and shocks. You guys just saved me a bundle of money.

Help me to understand what "difference in tracking" means.

By tracking, I mean traveling on a straight stretch of road, the truck and trailer travel in a straight line as one unit. I don't feel the trailer wiggling independently. Not much, but I can feel it. ST tires have stiffer sidewalls than LT tires. Doesn't make much difference going straight down the road. Significantly underinflated tires can make a big difference in how much the trailer moves around independent of the truck.I run my LRE tires on the trailer at 70 psi as that is compatable with the weight on each tire. When towing, I run the LRE tires on my Ram CTD at 60psi front and 70psi rear which is what the door sticker says. I run all the truck tires at 50psi when running empty. I have very even tread wear. I get 50,000 miles out of a set of Michelin ATs on the truck.

Trailer tires are a long ways behind the driver, there are a lot of road "hazards" which your vehicle tires may miss but yet you end up with a blown tire on the trailer..
People just get way to wound up in the blame game..

Last set or two were probably the good ones. :Etime2roll wrote:Gdetrailer wrote:OK and my oem DUROs came apart at less than 3 years. One blew and the rest were separating. Denman Express was supposed to be a quality tire with higher load range. Again about 3 years and a tread came clean off but still held pressure to pull over for the change on the Los Angeles freeway. OK step up to MAXXIS and again 3.5 years and there is a tread separating as I want to leave town. Changed the tire and went with no spare but plenty of anxiety.
Myself, Have used what every tires I can find which are readily available and never had drivability, stability or blow outs issues...
Next set Endurance, no issues over 4+ years. Although one did pick up a nail that I found before it leaked down. Probably time to replace these on age alone. Endurance is the ONLY set that held together.
:R
And yet, I have had several sets of those dreaded Carlisle ST tires that everyone on this forum called Bombs that never blew up on me..
Oh.. the hate and drama of the "arm chair tire gurus" on this forum..
As I said, if it makes you "feel better" run with it and be happy..
