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.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
