I found a couple tire shops selling Heritage trailer tires with a 10 ply load range E in 15" 225/75/15.

Anyone know of or running these Heritage tires?

 

trailer tires run em till they blow then put your spare on

 

That's a pretty expensive approach considering a tread separation on a previous 5th wheel did $2500 in damage. I prefer to use the best tires I can get (Michelin XPS Rib for a 16" E-rated or Goodyear G614 RST for a 16" G-rated) and enjoy the peace of mind.

Yea right. A friends 5th wheel just had $3000 damage repair from a blwn tire!

Found some Benmans 10 ply load E- $120 apeice, Maxis 10 ply Load E, Heritage 10 ply Load E

This small good tire shop has a good price on the Heritages 4 for $366

Any opinions on any of these brands? What about Towmaster?

 

sorry guys nothing that i tow is that expensive, as long as you don't hurt the horses.

 

Drew your just a dang hillbilly!!! Im going to put my old tires on my flatbed trailer .

I had a tread come of a tire on one of my concrete pumps and it hit the back window of my truck cab and broke the glass! Almost hit me in the back of my knoggin!

 

GSP, or Cruiser has Towmaster radial tires on it. So far they have about 7k miles on them with no problems. I did have them balanced and metal valve stems installed right after we picked the trailer up.

 

I run the Maxxis 10 ply on mine. $78 each from a local tire shop, mounted and balanced. I use the trailer at least 15-18 weekends out of the year hauling my show truck, so I wanted a tire that was gonna last. It`d be real sickening to loose a truck ya had $60K in over a crappy trailer tire.

 

I think most the tire shops around here are rip offs , I was quoted $482 for 4 maxis and $581 for 4 Benmans.

Im thinking of not going with 10 ply rated E tires. My axles arent rated for that much wieght anyways and I want alittle flex in the tire so as not to put strain on my long spring hangers when turning sharp with my 5er. Maybe D rated tires .
