HiSpec

[Yamahafx4]

Hello everyone; I’m picking up my new 2020 376RD Monday, the unit has HiSpec tires (G-Rated) which is 14 ply. That’s great for the load range I’m just worried about the brand.

I put 14ply Samson’s on my unit now 1year ago and have been very satisfied. Wish I could take them off and put On new unit.

Anyone had a problem out of these HiSpec tires?

Thanks

Yep, Tires!!! I’m like you; heard of Wheels but not Tires.

Here is a link to a discussion of these tires in a previous thread. Looks like they are made by "someone" and rebranded. Before I summarily removed and replaced them, which I personally would, you might call Hi Spec and see if they can shed any light. Probably Trailer King rejects....just joking, but look into it.

I suspect HiSpec Wheel & Tire, a Keystone OEM provider, has requested from a ST tire manufacturer a tire name (HiSpec Oracle) that will match the name of their wheels. They are currently an OEM for Provider, Grand Ride & Goodride ST trailer tires.

It is mandated by NHTSA that trailer manufacturers provide contact information for the wheels & tires they use on production models to be provided in the vehicle owner’s manual.

Keystone has followed that regulation and the information can be found on page #21 in the reference below.

If you end up looking to buy a different brand - Discount recently price matched Tirebuyer.com's price on a set of Carlisles for me. I signed up for Tirebuyers emails and discount codes, got an email with a discount code, then put 4 in the cart. I pulled up on the reins for a day or so and I then got an email with an additional 7% off... I took that email to my favorite DT and they matched it on the spot. $65 each (14" tires mind you).

For price matching, Discount Tire has an online direct website:
discounttiredirect.com



The prices on the online site are often significantly less than the store price and you can get your local Discount Tire to price match the prices on their own online site. Another fella just brought up an interesting options: Hercules Tire; they have a 15" LRF tire and you can go to their website to find a store selling them. Walmart doesn't list the LRF tire but there is a local seller near me that does. If you go with Discount Tire, they sell Carlisle and Goodyear Endurance, two of the more popular brands as noted by folks on this site. I might hesitate changing out the new tires on your rig for a year at least as I am pretty sure they are spec'd appropriately and have never heard of a China Bomb story with that tire line; I am sure that HiSpec has someone else making them and to be sure, I would call them; they are in the US and find out who actually makes those tires.

I price matched Discount against their own price on DTD a year or so ago when I got a new set of LT’s for the the truck and a new set of all seasons for the DW’s. Because of two vehicles being done at once, he threw in the road hazard on hers at no cost (which is the better bet since she more likely to run over something). On the Carlisles, their own price at DTD was still higher ($87) than even Walmart’s price. I’m guessing there’s better online discount prices for passenger vehicles than trailers. But that’s just a guess.
