Trailer Kings are China Bombs and Tow Max are Blow Max. We are replacing all with good quality RV tires. I sure wish I had read the blog on tires prior to mishap. Lesson learned...check month/year on all tires and change after 5 years even when tread looks great.
Just a thought, look a the capacity weight wise for your tires. Subtract 10% each year from that weight. Your carrying capacity shrinks each year until your unit out weighs the carrying capacity. At that point, it's time to replace. How much reserve you have depends on the tires you buy and the weight of your rig. The difference between the two is your reserve capacity.
