Some get by great, others don't. I opted for "wait and see" and on my first trip of my 2nd season one of the Trailer Kings blew about 50 miles from home as we left. A new set of tires, 7k in damages and 2 weeks later we headed out again. The OE tires looked like they came off the showroom floor; always kept aired; not overloaded - just "bang".

I will say that it seems to me that the manufacturers were putting the very minimal size tire/weight rating on trailers but have now improved on that. What trailer do you have and what tires? Size/load range?
