Re: Trailer tires
The best thing you can do for tire longevity is to get the tire off the ground during the off season. I would start to blow tire s every 3 to 4 years till I started putting the trailer on jack stands in the off season. The tires take a set when they sit for 4 to 6 months in one position. Then the first time you use them the threads in the tire belts get pulled .
Once I started putting the trailer up on jack stands in the off season the issues went away. On my last trailer I had put LT tires on it they were 7 seasons old an no issues. While 16's are better then 15's. Getting the tires off the ground and the weight off them is the key. I just picked up my first gooseneck trailer and I put goodyear endurance tire on it. Much easier to get the trailer off the ground. I had purchased a product called trailer legs a few years ago after seeing them at the SEMA show, they made it easier to get the trailer in the air. I don't have a use for them now with the gooseneck.
