The Westlake ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHWL304 does not have a tread life mileage rating as the manufacturer does not test for this. That said, none of the other trailer tire manufactures test for this either because trailer tires wear much differently than passenger tires. However, there is still a gauge to estimate life expectancy and that is by the age. Generally speaking, trailer tires can last up to six years if cared for properly which means always inflating to the maxi psi while cold and ensure minimal sun exposure for extended periods of time. The most common sign of a trailer tire needing replaced is dry rotting which is caused by excess sun exposure, so be sure to keep an eye on this

The Westlake Radial Trailer Tires are a great option and come with a very long five year warranty. I have even attached a review for you of a customer who has been using the tires going on four years with no signs of low tread.
