Keep the tires covered when not in use. It's recommended that RV tires be changed every 7 yrs or so.

Chinese tires with the RV crowd is a big issue. People are demanding that the dealership get rid of the Chinese tires before they take the RV.

They will work but in a load range G, hell no. I use a commercial tire on my horse trailer, Goodyear G614. I am going with a Michelen XRB rib, I think it is, for the car trailer when the time comes.

I also had a 35ft camper too. I got rid of the Chinese tires on it. The motor home had the Goodyear tires. I have the Yokohama's on it now. Would have gone to Mich. But they was another $200+ per tire.

You’re running 14-ply tires on that one
We have a few tag trailers with the same tires on it, not because of the load...but the extra ply, as they’re HD for sure

We run load range G on everything. Very rare to have a blow out and we wear out axles/springs as fast as tires on most of the deck overs.

You said a ST with 10 ply would work with my 20 footer?

I agree you can end up into an accident running at 70 mph or up then experience a blown tire.

The blown tire almost ripped the fender walls of my Trailer!

They all put the cheap tires on there. I thought that trailer looked familiar. So you did buy it from where we all had ours built. Oh well, it is part of owning a trailer. I blew a brand new valve stem on my outside drivers side dually tire last trip and ended up ripping the rear axle trailer brake wires off. Chit happens. Just fix it and move on.

You made me laugh!!!

Yeah I charge it to learning experience! It was fun and slowly getting used to backing up that trailer and squeezing through tight gas stations.

Had 5x trips with the trailer. This was the only one had issues with.
Im getting that Goodyear on my next trip next year at the Dragon again.
