    An interesting article on "old tires"

    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...

    Tpms

    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.

    Tires (Second Spare??)

    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.

    New tires.

    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...

    Taskmaster Review, 20-year-old tires

    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...

    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...

    Rear tires on TV feathered, will they fix themselves?

    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...
