RV: Trailer tires

[donwas]

Are there manufacturers of ST trailer tires, other than Goodyear and
Carlisle? Both of these have had bad reviews for blowouts of low mileage
and new tires.

I need four 15" tires for a 20' TT.

Thank you for any assistance you can give.

I believe either the Goodyears or Carlisle will do you well, IF you use the
right tire rating for the job. And the right tire rating may well NOT be
what the original manufacturer used. The OEM's like to select tires rated
barely high enough for the load, or maybe even not rated high enough to
begin with, all to save themselves a dime. Of course, there are a lot of
folks overloading their rigs too and not even know it. Point is, you are
going to see bad reviews for every trailer tire, because misuse is so
prevalent. It's not really the fault of the tires.
