Recommended ST175/80R13 Tires for Forest River Flagstaff Tent Camper
Question:
I have a Forest River Flagstaff Tent Camper 246D with a GVWR of 3246lbs. It uses 175-80/R13 tires. In the past three years on three trips I have had three blowouts and one about to blow out. Im aware of tire load rating, but I was not aware of most trailer speed ratings being at 65mph. On the most recent trip many of the roads had speed limits of 70mph and the temperatures were in the 90s. I made the last 540 miles home on one 175-80/R13 on the left, a 175-80/D13 on the right, and a spare 175-80/D13. The 175-80/D13s I got from Tractor Supply, the only store open with trailer tires at 5PM on a Saturday. What tire would you recommend so I can stop changing them while on the shoulder of I-81 waiting for a tractor trailer to turn me into road kill?

We have a great solution for you. The Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM1758013C is the right size, is a radial tire, but most importantly it has a speed rating of 81 mph so it wouldn't overheat and fail if you were traveling 70 mph.
I attached a review video for more info on this tire as well.
