Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Coachmean Freedon Express 192RBS. At the moment Im dealing with my dealer and LionsHead pertainjing to a brand new tire Bulging out on side wall and a spare where treads in inner part of tire not equal to outer treads on the tire. Im sure that either one will provide me with new tires to replace these. But wanted to know what other options I have when it comes to these tires which are Castle Rock ST205/75R 14 D rating. I believe you have a Westlake at this same size. All I hear are negative reviews and most people change them as soon as they get a new trailer with them . You all sell good products. But questioning the Quality of these tires coming from LionsHead Tires. Castle Rock/ Westlake

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
