Dry van tires

Depends on if its a first run recap. Like never been recapped before. Proper tire pressure and recaps last

 

I run BFG or GY suited to highway application, new always - never had problems.

Id have to go and check what serial number is on there.

Had ‘Hercules’ on there, cheap Chinese with a bunch of tread, but they all chopped out heavily.

 

At this point, you might just have to pick whatever is in your budget and available.

 

It's all ways best to recap the tires that you bought new and have never been been run low on air, then you may get a few recap on them if you can keep them off most curbs?

 

Nothing wrong with Asian tires. I run em an have had few issues.
Proper air pressure is your friend

 

I run roadmaster on my trailer and have had good service out of them. I run all Firestone on my tractor. I have considered Firestone on my trailer, but as I mentioned I am happy with the Roadmasters. I don't run recaps. I bought 2 Ironman tires in the past and got a
2 years out of them.

 

I've never bought a new trailer tire. I have about 5 tire shops on the lanes I run and can always snag a decent virgin (non recap) old used steer from them for 100-150 installed. Most I've paid was 150 plus 25 or so to mount when pickings were slim.

I scored at my local tire shop about two months ago. He had just taken two brand new looking Michelin steers off a diesel pusher motorhome. They looked brand new, best tires I've ever put on the trailer. Naturally I bought both, $100 per IIRC. Motorhome guys, if they are smart, swap their tires at 5 years no matter what they look like.
