Re: Which tire to use on trailer
I assume you have 3 axles. I had nothing but trouble with the 614 tire 3 in a row and the Goodyear rep who services our fleet could offer no help except a real good deal on some 17.5 if I converted. Alcoa makes a bolt on Aluminum 8 hole wheel that just replaces the 16" rim. Do not need to change studs. After that seems Continental and Michelin seem to have the good setup. Funny 16" two in a row seem great, but 3 just seem to wiggle and cause heat and hence blowouts. About 8 years ago when I converted to `17.5 have not had a tire issue at all. Worst trip was the Indy before I converted we carried 3 spares and had none left when we got back to Louisiana and bought 2 more in Nashville on the way up. Shortest lived 614 I ever had was 40 miles. Went from Memphis to a truck stop 40 miles down I55. All this was on a two car stacker.

Re: Which tire to use on trailer
Goodyear just announced that they are making a radial trailer (ST) tire, called the "Endurance" here in the USA. Available in both D and E load ranges, they are N-speed rated (87 MPH).

Re: Which tire to use on trailer
I use the Goodyear 614 GST load range G and have not had any trouble yet.
I do not wear them out I just change them out every 3 years just to be safe. I seem to have more bearing trouble than tire trouble right now. I am going to start a new thread on that issue. Rick Cates Canyon, TX |
