I have researched this and other forums without a whole lot of consensus. Sorry to post this subject again. My new Ever-Lite has "Trail Express" tires made in China. Read lots of horror stories about them. Should I replace them, and if so, with what. thanks!

Mine has Duro's, never heard of them. Lots of cheap junk being put on. When we bought our trailer, there were 2012 Salems on lot beside ours, the tires were so badly split open i was scared to stand near them. Trailers were brand new! Salesman just shrugged and said they would replace them!

I agree with the Maxxis ST tires being good.
I have been reading good things about Kumho ST tires, but they're limited to 14" tires only.
Be sure to have your new tires balanced.

Maxxis are great. Kumho would be my second choice. If you look at Kuhmo keep in mind that they are not ST tires and a "205" is larger than an ST205. Check the diameters and make sure you have room.

I have also been thinking its time for new tires. Bought 2006 Fleetwood Wilderness in spring of 2008. Haven't replaced tires yet but from posts here seems like it may be time. I we've traveled less than 7,000 miles on them. They look ok but what I read it don't try to stretch it one more year..........

When you replace tire on TT, do you usually take it to RV dealer or just a regular tire place?

Also time for tires to my truck, any suggestions? I have 2006 F150. Mostly used to pull travel trail and maybe another 4k miles a year

Thank you in advance
