I haul hay and tractors, and am usually running near or over max load. I find that when tires are over 5 to 6 years old, I blow one every trip. This year hauling hay, I blew one tire and had two more go out of round and they are 6 years old. I am slowly replacing the E rated tires with G rated tires. I have three trailers. Two are tandum singles 14k, and one is tandum duals25k. keep in mind the 25k gooseneck weighs 7k empty, so running with 30k total load for the short,150 mile, trips loaded with round bales on farm/market roads is not a high speed operator. Usually 60 mph is fine. Down here at 5 to 6 years, the sidewalls are showing cracking anyway. Like batteries, I dont know if geographic location as more to do with life than other areas. 22.5 inch simi tires seem to run longer with with the cracking down here, but the 16 inch tires dont do well after 6 years. And partially used tires down here are cracked just as bad, so basically you dont wear out your trailer tires down here, you rot them and blow them out.
