My experience with those tires, albeit several years ago is that they were fine at first but then started coming apart. Same thing with the replacement Towmasters (load range D). They were both eventually subject to shifted belts, sidewall bulges and blowouts. Age and sun is not a trailer tires friend. I have tire covers but can't do anything to stop the march of time.
