When your talking tires
How many miles per year are you towing
How much air is there in the tires
Are the tires exposed to sun light
How much weight is on the tires
How much of a weight safety buffer do you have on each wheel
How fast are you towing
Answer all the questions then you can compare tire life.

Re: Talking Tires

Well I buy a new set ever 5 year and run them at the max psi and I run them at 50 to 70 depending on where I am going, and I have never wore out a set, dry rot all ways gets them. and I put around 2000 miles a year on a set. My boat calls for a C rating and I run E.

Re: Talking Tires

Mr.Hawker, See you have all the right answers but most people overload and don't check air pressure drive to fast on old tires and they don't service the wheel bearings and they say that the tires are Bad Tires.

Yes a lot do it until it catches them on some dark night or boiling hot day on the side of the road with traffic screaming by. Then they learn.
