My daily driver tires cost a whole lot less than TR tires. My daily driver weighs a whole lot less than my Trailer. My daily driver is always moving about, not sitting in the same spot for weeks or even a month at a time. If my daily driver has a flat or blowout I call AAA, if my trailer has a flat or blowout you can bet your AZZ that it’s on the busiest frickin freeway right around rush hour ........You see, I will do anything in the world to keep my trailer tires and MYSELF safe........
