    New Tires

    So, after 4 years rolling the dice on the original Castle Rock tires, and loosing one last year, i swapped them out for Carlisle Radial Trail HD. Right off the bat, camper pulled much easier with less sway back and forth. Very happy with them.

    I just had another tire blow. The cold pressure at start of trip was 80 psi, which is max load pressure per Goodyear for Endurance ST235/75R15. This is the 3rd tire that has blown in the past 12 months. All were verified before pulling out as being at 80 psi. The oldest tire is now 4...

    I'm getting ready to replace the tires on our TT. I see Greenball Towmaster tires at Costco. I've never heard of them but Costco has a reputation for having quality products soooo - has anyone run these on their trailer? If so, what's your opinion? FWIW, they are a good bit cheaper than most of...

    Water dripping on tires

    I have a 2021 Wildwood 29VBUD. I noticed yesterday when closing up that there was some water dripping on the front tire. I felt underneath and the under layer is dry. It seems to be following the wheel fenders. I checked the water pump area as I had bypassed the pump after 2 failures 2 years...

    Can a tire's TPMS sender be reset?

    Anyone know if the TPMS sender located inside the tire on a common truck or car can be reset without pulling the tire off? I have one in a 2007 Ford F150 and one in a 2011 Ford Escape that are each sending false Low Pressure warnings. Thanks.

    Easy way to replace tires

    I need new tires for my 2146BHX, but tow vehicle is down for a repair. Anyone ever taken the four wheels off and just took them to tire store for new tires and brought back to put on? Any issues with that? Obviously would have to figure out a way block the trailer on axles? If so what would I...

    All steel tires

    I am looking for new tires for my 2019 Rockwood 2612WS. I was planning on getting Goodyear Endurance, but my tire shop is trying to sell me K9 All steel tires. After doing some research, the all steel sounds like a good idea... There are a few other manufacturers who make the All steel. Does...

    Are these tires too overkill?

    Unfortunately, our Goodyear Endurance tires have timed out. We bought them in 2018. They only have a couple of thousand miles on them. We never really traveled as much as many of you, to begin with, and we'll be traveling even less going forward. I don't want to spend as much as new...

    No manufacture date on Goodyear tires?

    I just received my order of Goodyear Endurance tires to replace my China bombs and discovered that they show no manufacture date! Unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't it be after the DOT number? Mine show a blank oval. What's up with that?

    What does "MAX" psi on tires mean?

    There seems to be a lot of confusion about the "MAX PSI" number on the tire sidewall. That PSI number IS NOT the highest pressure a tire can tolerate. Undamaged tires do not "Explode" if you exceed that psi number. This may help. Read the words so you understand what the "MAX PRESS" is...

    Importance of Checking tires

    Just got back from a 3,200 mile round trip. Always checked tires at every fill up or stop. Noticed I was getting a bald spot on one tire at a fuel stop, decided to watch it since only about 50 miles left to campground. At the site it looked a little worse so just decided to change it with spare...

    Underside over tires

    I have purchased a 2019 Alpha wolf and my plan is to be solo, full-time, traveling, within a few months so this will likely not be my only post. I've been doing some interior renovations because I see no reason to put up with things that I don't like in my full-time home. I'm also...

    Metal Fragments inside tires

    I had an internal TPMS die on my 2024 2515s. I contacted TST and they supplied a replacement. Today I took the wheel to a tire shop to have them replace the sensor that's banded around the rim. When the tire tech took the tire off, he found multiple metal fragments left over from the sensor...

    Using auto-leveling jacks to raise tires to put in tire dollies.

    Quick question on auto-levelling jacks. The road to our cottage double width driveway is very narrow, so backing into the driveway with our Cedar Creek Silverback 33IK fifth wheel is nearly impossible. I was thinking of putting tire dollies under each of the wheels (I have 4 x 3000lb...
