Old Popper, How old were those trailer tires? Radial trailer tires have a life expectancy of 6 years or less. I've heard some brands have a life expectancy of 2-3 years! I was going to be the guy that disproved that trailer radials would only last around 6 years. Always kept them inflated to 80 psi,never over loaded, always parked on boards to keep them out of the mud, etc. At around 7 years I had two fail within a few miles. I hadn't hit or run over anything. As I was getting them replaced I asked the tire guy why two tires would fail at nearly the same time. He said they were old and worn out (tread was still over 90% of new), and the other two would probably fail soon as well. I'm a believer now. I plan on replacing my trailer radials with bias ply tires.

There are several tire companies that make some of their tires here. I'm not sure any of them make all of their tires here.
