Had the same experience myself. In 5 years tires on my gooseneck started blowing, like time bombs. So I put the tires from my pickup 10 ply, on the trailer and got new tires for the pickup. Worked for 2 yrs. But this summer when to a tractor pull on the way home, Boom! Spare was on top of gooseneck. Made a big mistake, shoved tire forward . It went almost halfway down then hung. We made a fatal mistake. Pulled on it wedged it tighter. Luckily we (Another old guy with just one foot) had pulled off at a church parking lot and was time to have Sunday night services. A couple of younger guys came and got the spare pushed back up and got it down. We did have a 19.2 impact wrench and boards and blocks to run it up on. Next day bought some 14 ply trailer tires. I would say they will be junk in 5 yrs. The posters are right about bias tires. I have some nylon bias tires on my horse trailer 7:00 X 15 They are 15 yrs old and have had no trouble. But I don't pull it 80 down the interstate. Just 55 60 and just go 60 miles with a lot of small towns every 10 miles. Makes a difference. Vic
