What type of tires do most of you use on your goose neck or bumper hitch trailer,
radial or bias ply? Trailer rated or just tires designed for pick ups? Mine is a
14,000lb rated trailer.
(quoted from post at 10:44:13 10/10/18) I heard the "6 year rule" a lot. I was going to be the one to disprove it. I kept the load range E tires on my dump trailer properly inflated, and protected from sunlight.
I have a routine when refueling while towing a trailer that I always feel the tires to see if they're hot, and visually inspect them. When the trailer was barely 7 years old I went through my routine while refueling the truck. The profile of one tire was more wedge shaped than crowned. The rest of the tires looked fine. I slowly drove 18 miles to the next town where I knew there was a tire store. A second tire developed the same problem!
I bought 2 new load range E trailer radials. The guy at the tire store said the life expectancy of trailer radials was 2-6 years. He suggested bias ply trailer tires but didn't have any in stock. Not long after returning from that trip I bought new Carlisle load range E bias ply tires.
Not sure what you mean. Bias ply Carlisle are now over 7 years old and haven't had any problems with them. I highly recommend them.(quoted from post at 22:15:37 10/10/18)(quoted from post at 10:44:13 10/10/18) I heard the "6 year rule" a lot. I was going to be the one to disprove it.
