","text":"Pete is correct also, “You get what you pay for” so when you have more money saved next time invest into Michelins with the low rolling resistance. It is worth every penny in mpg and longer life.","replyToPid":438650}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Well, in my opinion, buy 8 new for your drives and then put the 8 old onto your trailer and have the mech match tread depths to each axle side group as close as possible. Also, make sure each tire is put into position that will roll counter to how it was on drives. Also, ensure the new valves are finger tight and put plumbers thread tape on before the gator G2 in line caps to make tight seal. Sometimes mechs get in a hurry. Go with Yokohama as a medium priced tire that is comparable to GoodYear. Stay away from Bridgestone / Firestone. If getting retreads, check over the next week daily to see if any bubbling starts at retread seams, have them fix if there is.\n\nI hope that helps you.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"The best trailer tires I’ve had are Continental EcoPlus (the ones without tread on the corner sidewall), but you also want to make sure your alignment is good and have good shocks and air bags. While you’re at it, throw in some (Centramatic) wheel balancer discs.\n\nI forgot, look behind all your wheels where the brake pads are to make sure your hubs are not leaking. There’s also another hub seal/gasket on the outside center of the wheel. They do leak eventually and can cause irregular tire wear.\n\nI too agree that you don’t want to go cheap with your tires. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend Michelin or Bridgestone, but do go with other major brands like Continental, Goodyear, BF Goodrich, Firestone, Yokohama, etc. By the way, some brands are owned by bigger names, like Firestone is owned by Bridgestone; BF Goodrich by Michelin; etc. "}
