    New tires installed with balancing beads instead of weights

    FYI, we just got new Michelin tires installed, on our Isata 5 30FW, and the tire shop placed balancing beads into the tires, instead of rim weights. Yesterday one of the tires needed to be inflated to get to the desired pressure. Once inflated and the hose removed the valve stem did not close...

    Negative Omni trail tires

    These were cheap tires, made in Thailand. They blew out in less than 2 years. I currently run Carlisle tires on my trailer, can't imagine what these would do on an RV.

    Are trailer tires balanced?

    Now that I know the tire shop may have gave me the wrong advice on the air pressure, are trailer tires balanced usually? How did these trailers come from the factory? The tire shop said they don’t usually balance trailer tires. I see online that some websites agree with that.

    2 new tires for rear axle on Class A

    Has anyone had any real bad experience with getting 2 new tires for the steering axle, then moving those tires to the rear? I'm well aware the old steering axle tires will be a different OD than the other two. Yes, the differential will be working even going down a straight highway. So its...

    My wife and I own a ROCKWOOD Ultra Lite FW. We upgraded from a Class C motorhome to this FW. This will be the first winter we have stored the FW and I was wondering if there was anything special done to the tires to prevent flat spots (Other than checking tire pressure and making sure they're...

    The Five Year Itch (New Tires)

    I cross over the 5 year mark with my original factory tires (Castle Rock) I have read many places to replace after 5 years regardless of condition due to potential dry rot or hidden internal deterioration. I called a Trailer super store near me today that is really a cargo trailer store, not...

    An interesting article on "old tires"

    We've all heard and read the admonition REPLACE YOUR TIRES EVERY FIVE YEARS but is it true. According to major tire manufacturers it really depends on how one cares for them. Properly cared for maybe 10 years is achievable, especially with better quality tires (even "premium" ST trailer tires...

    Tpms

    I have changed my mind and will no longer be selling the TPMS based on posters advice. I have a new TPMS for sale. Never used. It is still in original box. It is a tireminder 77. Asking $300. I changed my mind on using it and bought new tires instead.

    New tires.

    Yep folks, thought I would do one more trip to wait until I got new tires and had a sidewall blow out on my Castle Rock before then. My 5th Trailer is 1 year old. First off, just replace them. The cost of a blow can be too expensive when the tire hits the underside, it's gonna do damage It's...

    Taskmaster Review, 20-year-old tires

    The tires are Taskmaster ST205/75D15. I have a utility trailer that is over 20 years old. It still has the original tires that came on it. I don’t use the trailer for heavy hauling and certainly don’t recommend anyone use 20-year-old tires on their RV. You can see small cracks (dry...
