It seems that on this forum, the general consensus is to get rid of them, the sooner the better. The argument most have is which brand to use as a replacement, but for the most part, we all agree Trailer King is not a brand to trust beyond the driveway....

You may get 10 years of reliable service from them. That's 5 years beyond the recommended "age out" time frame. Then again, you may wind up with $8,000 damage to your trailer on the first trip. It comes down to whether you're willing to gamble or not? Some are lucky, some aren't.... How many lottery tickets do you buy and how often do you win????? That might be an indicator of whether you should trust your TK's..... Then again, maybe your luck will be different...... Too early to tell, eh?

ADDED: As for speed rating, if your tires have no speed rating marking on them, then they are rated at 62MPH, if they have an L the rating is 75MPH and M is 81 MPH. But most of us would advocate to never drive faster than the speed limit and certainly well below the 75 or 81 MPH rating of the tires. After all, a 6000 pound trailer with "magnetic brakes" may not stop as rapidly as you'd need in an emergency.
