I did have another gentleman tell me about Maxxus, so i think i'm going to look
into those.
TOM: Thx for the tip about the metal valve stems, i wouldn't have known that.
Everyone else that commented, thank you for steering me in the right direction.
BTW, my trailer does have a 6 bolt pattern & I only race locally anyway which means
no more than a 2 hour tow, so hopefully i won't have to get the 16" rims.
OK so no more blow-outs for me....lol
Thx Everyone.....

What I meant was keep tire dressing on them,check the air before going to a race,when you make any stops on a trip check walk around and feel the trailer and truck tires and visually inspect,keep the tires covered with a tire cover when not being drive,that includes the few days you're at a race and recheck pressure before leaving for home.You should get 3-4 years out of them then buy new ones.And be aware of the manufacturing date on each tire.Like someone said previously,heat and sun are tires biggest enemy.Going with Maxxis's would be a good choice.
When I went to Norwalk 2 weeks ago I followed this routine and all went well.BTW my trailer is 18' but it weighs 7K rolling.
