Nanco tires? ..... a mistake?

[Condor1970]

I was going to get a set of Goodyear Marathon 205/75D14's for my single axle trailer, but they had none at the shop, so the guy swore by these other ones called Nanco Bias tires, rated at 1760lbs, and 50psi cold.

So, I bought a set in that size. These are of course a Chinese tire, but haven't found many reviews on these. Also, the max inflation is 50psi cold, and they set them at 44psi for my 3000lbs load, which seems logical. I noticed at 44psi, the tread surface seems more rounded than the old radials I had. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. Also not sure what kind of mileage I can expect to get from these.

Does anybody here have these? And if so, how do you like them?

Couldn't be any worse than Goodyear Marathons. Pump them up to 50psi and call it good - here comes another one of those threads

These are of course a Chinese tire,

your tire's manufacturer would be highly insulted being called a "Chinese" manufacturer

Haven't tried Nanco but I have bias ply tires on all my trailers except my 10 Ton tag. They bump some when their cold but never had one blow out on me like my radials have. Radials on pullers, bias ply on trailers do to they sit so much. Only reason my tag has radials is because they where on it when I bought it. If I ever give me trouble, there all gone
