RV inclined folks have learned that trailer tyres only last 7 years.
After that you are playing with a loaded gun.
I've done thousands of dollars in damage thru failed tire that looked
100% the day before they blew.
Ask anyone in the trade or with actual experience, they dry rot and fail.

I put a set of what appeared to be good used tires on my trailer, all
but 1 ended up blowing out over time. I then replaced with a set of
Douglass tires from walmart. They have the proper load rating the old
trailer tires did. I dont use trailer tires because they do not last
very long.

I've had some trailer adventures but one was with old old tires on a

haven't had any issues...
I do remember Kaleb having a rash of tire blowouts and I do remember
him switching to trailer tires... I think he's trying to cover up ;)

Sorry, I must have confused you with someone else pulling a trailer
and blowing tires. Was that Curt?

That load rating of my tires on my trailer are just fine. Anytime
I have had to change a trailer tire it was because it picked up a
nail or something and went flat.
