In Reply to: OT-more on tires posted by Nancy Howell on September 11, 2014 at 07:03:08:
I have sold tires on the side for the last 40 years, lots of opinions on tires, some old fashioned and some are fact. Just like every thing else the quality of tires has changed with the times. I read your other post and 85 psi in a 90 psi max tire is plenty of air unless you are at max or overloaded. Years ago they used to recommend bias ply on horse trailers because they rode nicer and were more quiet, but I haven't heard that for a long time.Cheap trailers still come with bias around here and they last maybe 7 or 8 thousand miles. Every one around here has a lot of trouble with trailer tires, I don't care what name is on them, most of them are built off shore. If I ask about bias tires my supplier looks at me like I'm nuts and I haven't used or sold any in a long time. One thing I have seen radials do more and more is loose the tread going down the highway and tearing a fender half off, happened to my Son a couple of weeks ago on his pickup, casing never lost air. So bottom line I think the quality has gone down the tube, they weather check after a couple of years and it goes down hill from there, I think the age issue is true, it's a shame to take a tire off with good tread but that's what I would recommend. By the say I don't use ST tires on my own trailers, I use LT, light truck tires with highway tread. Just my penny's worth, good luck.
