Provider Radial Tire

[ldiaz791]

Has anyone had to purchase the same name brand trailer tire and not been able to find them locally and purchase them on line Amazon. My new Keystone avalanche takes Provider ST235/85R16 Radial trailer tires and I would like to buy an extra tire same brand to have as a second spare.

I ordered mine from eTrailer. I doubt you will find them locally.

Something to consider: If you can't find them locally and they have no "dealer service network, what do you do when you have a problem with a tire???

This might be a good time to start the conversion to a tire that is available in your area and that has a dealer network to service your needs should you have a problem in the future.....

If you travel a lot, the tires nearby will vary by region. Depending on RV usage, this could mean there is never going to be a reliable "dealer service network". There are very few ST tires on the market in this size, much less good G rated ones like these (surprisingly) are. I think a safe bet would be to continue to use them.

I've long considered tires a consumable without warranty. If there is an incident with a tire that can't be easily be patched and plugged by any standard tire shop, I throw it away, and buy another one. I suppose that's arguably throwing away a "good" warranty as well, but I find it usually isn't worth the effort compared to the cost of a replacement.

I think Sailun makes one in that size. Check the wheel to be sure it is rated for the pressure but it should be OK since it is OEM same size. Sailun seems to be the "go to" tire these days.
Discount Tire carries the new Carlisle HD which they advertise as "best". I have them on all my trailers, no issues.

Lots of commercial haulers use them. Check some commercial tire shops.

I hear the drum beat for the old stand-by tire brands. The Provider tires on the Laredo are doing fine, and I have not herd one negative comment on there reliability. If you don't have real facts, why respond.

Let's see if we can NOT have another one of THOSE tire threads. It's too early, not even fall yet.

Can someone help the OP find the tire he's looking for?

I have the same tires on my Laredo also. They are wearing perfectly with no sign of uneven wear. I have always kept the tires off the ground (on boards) and covered when the trailer has been stored. I have a long haul tomorrow from AZ to CA across the desert with 111 degree high temperatures. Tires are about to get a test. And yes, I have a TPMS.

Need more info on the dump trailer. What kind of weight are you carrying. Tire size, rating and axle rating. Are the axles out of alignment. Is the tread wear even across all 4 tires etc.

[JMB]

Not trying to get in a controversial thread about tires, just saying I have a brand new 14K dump trailer with two 7k Dexter axles with provider tires on them. I haul at or near the weight limit of the axles and tires but not over. I know this for sure because I weigh out with every load, the trailer pulls perfectly straight and the tire wear is perfectly even just wearing down with less miles on them than I would have expected.

Is this your model trailer?

Yes the out back is our latest TT we also have a 2016 Jayco Eagle 317RLOK but it is our dump trailer that I have been talking about.

What designated tire size, load range and inflation pressures are you using on the dump trailer?

All trailers have a certification label. It will show the trailer's GAWR capacities and the tires fitted to them and corresponding recommended cold inflation pressures. The label should be displayed somewhere on the LH side of the trailer, forward of the axles.

The trailer is not handy right now but the tires are the one that came on it new from the factory, they are 235 80 R16 LRE DOT 3118. I would assume that the factory put tires on their traler in accordance with their certification label.

Well, now were getting somewhere. You're probably not going to like this comment. Those tires provide 3520# of load capacity at 80 PSI. On 7000# vehicle certified axles, loaded heavy they are just not going to last very long. No brand will without some more load capacity reserves.

There is a "catch 22" with fitting ST235/80R16E tires to 7000# axles. That's because about half of that designated size with a LRE provide 3520# of load capacity and the other half provide 3420# of load capacity. The 3420# tires do not qualify for fitment as Original Equipment tires on vehicle certified 7000# axles. What the trailer manufacturer usually does when using that designated size tire on 7000# axles is derate them on the vehicle certification label. Vehicle manufacturer's have the authority to do that and it's quite common throughout the trailer industry. That's why I kept referring to the axles being vehicle certified. The individual axle will have a certification tag from their manufacturer affixed to the axle.

In the example referenced below, the trailer manufacturer has derated 7000# axles to 6750# to meet their GAWR requirements for fitting any brand of the ST235/80R16E tires.
