Replacement Tires For Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire Due to 7 Years Age
Question:
We are looking to replace our boat trailer tires due to they are going on 7 years old. We have west lake st 175 80r13 that came on the boat. Do you suggest going back with this tire? Our tires are not wore at all, they look great but Ive read that it is suggested to change them around 5 years... We bought Taskmasters for our other boat from you about 4 years ago. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can go back with the same Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # LHWL101 as it is a tire you have experience with and know they are good for your use. I do recommend changing out the tires every 5 years or sooner if you notice any dry rot or other tire damage. The Westlake does have a 5 year warranty so if you notice any defect from manufacture before 5 years you know you have the manufacturer warranty as an option.
