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...
I have no idea if I am using this forum correctly it my first time. I have a Forest River Wildwood Heritage 286 RL. I wanted to lift the trailer a bit to make it level, but the springs are already on top of the axle, and there doesn't seem to be any lift kits available for Dexter axle...
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.
Anyone familiar with these? They are made in Thailand, came on my new Platinum FSX TT. I have never heard of them and curious if they are as bad as the Castle Rocks? On the tire it says they are speed rated for 61 mph.. that’s crap. but are “D” rated.. anyway, any input would be appreciated...
I have Sailun tires dated 2017 week 40 with 20K miles. See no signs of checking and tread is still good. Probably change next year. Anyone with these go longer than 5.
I plan on taking my Imagine to Alaska next summer. People have told me I should consider a second spare tire.
So, I thought I would post the question to see what other owners have done or plan to do.
Thanks to all.
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...
Well I finally blew a Castle Rock pile of crap tire! Less that three years old, less than 3,000 miles.
Exploded. I run 80 psi, and nitrogen. Checked air Pressure last night.
Went straight to my dealer and put 4 Maxxis tires on.
Thank you forest river for putting such cheap crap on the...
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...
Looks like the Castle Rock pandemic has struck.

this past Friday (10-1-2021) headed from Charleston SC to Calhoun Falls SC (3.5Hrs). tires were properly inflated and still look new (purchased camper March '19). Running around 70 mph could feel a pretty...
I’m planning on purchasing new tires for my Cedar Creek 34RLSA fifth wheel with a 14,500 pound GVW. Sailune tire looks good to me. Are any of you already using them? What do you think. Not sure if I’m going to choose to 80 or 85 size again looking for advice.

I had a Goodyear Endurance 15" tire blow out last night while on the interstate, continued home at 60mph with the spare another 100 miles and this morning took it in to a local trusted tire shop. Two other of the Goodyear had bulges on the top about to blow as well. So, we have another trip...
Has anyone tried the Carlisle 235/85R16/G CSL16. I was looking at the Goodyear G614 and found the Carlisle.

For those that were complaining about my strong opinions on tires I will explain. Owning multiple vehicles and trailers over the years, I have been thorugh several brands with good and bad experiences.
All experiences had the same thing in common. Trying to save a buck buying cheap Chinese...
I am in the car business so I know everyone has their own opinions. I have a 24.1 we have found we are using a lot more due to Covid. I noticed that my tires are dry rotted and need replacement. They have the factory Michelin 225/75R16. I have done way too much googling and need some advice...
Please , anybody with experience on adding air to the inside tires of their dual rear wheels on their Ford F-350? Just bought one and need to air up. Like to add some type of extender if you think that’s best. suggestions? Thanks for any help.
I have a four year old Forest River Wildwood ultra lite bunkhouse. I noticed a poor tire tread situation on the left rear tire, it was worn significantly on the inside. The other tires looked ok. Is this a balanced load problem, or alignment? Has anyone else experienced this problem.
Also, I...
Anyone got those tires on their Class C ?
I'm very happy of what my Kuhmo Venture gave me but it is now time to change.
Any opinion ? Any other choice ?

Can anyone recommend a great set of new tires for my FR 2018 grey wolf 23mk? Been traveling on original tires and ready to replace. Heading from Ohio to Albuquerque for balloon festival nxt month. Having a hard time finding good replacements. Certainly don't want China bombs. Thanks
I put new General Grabber ATX tires on my truck 25,000 miles ago. Like an idiot, I did not get an alignment and I did not rotate them. I rotated them last week (front to back) got them balanced and a front end alignment and the front end was out of whack. The ones that were on the front are...
I need new tires for my 2015 38rl and will either replace the goodyear g614’s or get the Saliun 637’s. I still have the 16” wheels on stock axles.
Simpletire says they could be up to four year old tire dot codes and wont check them presales, walmart I suspect is the sams.

We’ve never done this before on something this size…
Do you all use:
1). RAM dealership
2). Tire center
3). RV service center
4). Truck service center
5). Something else?
Thanks in advance.

Just returned home Thursday and found one of my GoodYear Endurance tires with this nice crack along the outer tread! Sure glad it wasn’t found along the side of the interstate shredded to pieces. The tires are four years old and have been stored indoors when not in use. I’m certain they have...
Need some feedback Just returned home from a four day outing, at a near by state park. About one mile from park entrance minding my own business MR. Castle rock got me. Two year old trailer doing about 55mph and had checked air at 65psi before i left home. Next morning went to nearby town and...
I just bought a set of these tires to replace the Castle Rocks that came with my trailer. I wanted Goodyear Endurance tires but nobody's got them. The Vantras were in stock at Tirerack.com so I ordered them. I've heard good things about them, and have used Handkooks on my trucks over the years...
