Thank you!

I’ve had one tire blow in the 4+ years I’ve been driving and it was a recap that came on a trailer I bought. I replaced the rest of the recaps with virgin rubber and never had another issue besides occasional leaks of course. I’ve ran many cheap tires and average 80,000 all day long and never had an issue with them besides wearing uneven and wearing out quicker than a better quality tire.

I have been blessed. None for a couple of years. Those were old trailer tires.when l was using other company's trailers.
One reason l have been so lucky is my TST Truck tire pressure monitor system. Great folks located in Georgia. Mine have external sensors that screw on the valve stem. Also if a battery goes out in one they swap them out free.
They even have ones that are internal so nothing goes on your valve stems if you prefer. I had a steer leaking and it warned me. Picked up.a nail in a SS tractor tire it saved me. No affiliation but www.tsttruck.com
Also whenever you stop take one minute and kick or thump your tires before you leave. Can help keep you off the shoulder.OldeSkool, elchachocoduet and BUMBACLADWAR Thank this. -

I've had two in 3 years. Both were crappy used tires. That's about all I put on my trailer.
