Knowing the little that I do about how Keystone buys components, they buy in large quantities from the lowest bidder and buy as much as they can at the lowest price. So, if Sterling Sport ST tires are cheaper than Trailer King ST tires, you can pretty much be assured that Keystone will install what is least expensive component that meets their requirements. If that tells me anything, it's that the tires cost less than Trailer King and I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for"..... Buyer beware ????? Seems like it to me.....
I could be completely wrong, but I'd be very cautious with an "off brand" ST tire manufactured in China, distributed by a "small local distributor" that's located "next door to the Keystone factory......

I couldn't find much info on them as well so I'd say that's probably a red flag. It's unfortunate because it's a brand new trailer but I guess I better look for some better tires this winter.
