DuneFanatic24 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I am ready to by new tires for my 33' fifth wheel Attitude. I have been looking at Hercules and Transporter also Maxxis. I need 225/75/15 load range E. any thoughts Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 We went to a 16" wheel and used load range E radial truck tires and have not had any blow outs since then. Just my .02 Quote
DunaticSuzyQ Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Michelin's this time for us -- load range e / 16". Same as above -- no blow outs. Ride well. Quote
dunefreak Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I have run just about every E rated 15" trailer tire that Discount Tire carries. They are all garbage. Every single one of them separate over time and grow tumors. +1 on the 16" LT radials. They're he way to go. Quote
DuneFanatic24 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I have thought about going to 16s but don't have the $$$ to buy new wheels also. I have heard most of trailer tires are junk. The tires on my trailer now are load D which I think are to weak for the trailer but when I bought it (used) that's what it came with Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Not sure where you are located or what lug pattern you have but here are some in SoCal... http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/rvs/4127223042.html Not too bad a deal... Quote
Bigedmond Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 This is what my trailer tires look like after 19 months of taking the rzr around. Time for better tires. 1 Quote
White Rhino Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 ^^^ that looks like underinflation there ??? Quote
sandslayer Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 BFG Commercial TA's... Moving from a 15" wheel to a 16" isn't cheap but you are paying for less headaches. Quote
DuneFanatic24 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Bigedmond, My 12 foot trailer is doing same and I check pressure every time and tires only have about 500 miles on them. Quote
bp-guy Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I also went to 16's on my trailer. Sure it is expensive buying rims and tires. But I have not had one issue with my BFG's in over 3 years. 2 Quote
Olmtowing Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Bigedmond, My 12 foot trailer is doing same and I check pressure every time and tires only have about 500 miles on them. U guys should probably check our wheel bearings they are most likely loose! Repack them and tighten them up and u'll be good! 1 Quote
White Rhino Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 if properly inflated Id say thats a good guess^^ at least where Id look Quote
Bigedmond Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 They are proper inflated. I will pull the wheels and check the bearings. Now to learn how to do that. Quote
sandawg Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 How many threads about this that have been posted before? Quote
Jakster884 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 There has been many so this means TIRES are an issue. Maybe a Pinned Topic to view from. Seems no one really uses the search menu. Quote
White Rhino Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 How many threads about this that have been posted before? I dunno how many? or did you pull your post again 1 Quote
DuNe~Rydher Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Bigedmond, Just search YouTube you'll find tons of videos showing how to re pack your bearings by hand. It's messy but very important routine maintenance. Just be sure to get good quality high temp wheel bearing grease and a new seal for each of your hubs. (you'll see they're on the back) they are cheap. I go to trailer tech for my parts. As far as tires go, I'm in the same boat. 32ft weekend warrior I bought used 6 months ago came with cheap tires. Repacked all my bearings and properly inflated before halloween trip to Dumont and blew one on the way back. Luckily I have 16 inch rims already so I'm going with 235 85 r16 BFG Commercial LT tire. Looking forward to peace of mind. Quote
DuneFanatic24 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Posted November 14, 2013 Sandawg and Jakster884, If referring to my post about tires and how many threads have been posted. Sorry as you can se new to the posting on the site and with the tire shops saying different things about tires, I figured where else to ask but maybe here on DDR where people have experienced the tire issues. I think I am going to go with the Maxxis 8008 for now till I can afford to get 16 inch rims and tires. I wont be buying till next week so still open for suggestions. Thanks for the feedback Quote
White Rhino Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Hey DuneFanatic don't sweat it about posting your questions ever in here. It's a forum People are on here for info, friends, keyboard warring, heck one guy came on here for love (course he will never live that down) lol So ask away 1 Quote
Just Mike Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I have had great luck with the LT radials. I used to have blow outs all the time. I have not had one in the last 3 seasons with the truck tires on my tripple axle trailer 1 Quote
Bigedmond Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Btw I read my post again. I know how to take off wheels. I just have never replaced trailer bearings. Quote
