Then I got a fifth wheel trailer with twice the number of tires and it looks like I'm getting about ten times the miles.   [Reply]   [No Email]

They leaked air at the bead, never held air pressure, and were China junk. I believe they were 9.50-16 rated 3K each. They were the same size as my 235-85-16E truck tires. Truck tires were half worn, they went on trailer, truck got new Michelins. Two years on these trailer tires, and I couldn't be happier. Philip.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Work MUCH better than the junk 225/75-15st trailer tires!   [Reply]   [No Email]
