New Trailer Tires

I did it!! I finally made a trip withwout having a trailer tire blow. Before I converted to 16" tires I ran 10 ply Carlisle Tires and always had tire trouble. After reading many posts here I finally went to Les Schaubs and talked to them about my troubles. The manager told me he put on Toyo HT's and had been running them for about three years now on his trailer and had no trouble at all. To make a long story short I ended up with 16" Toyo Tires. We tried several sizes on my trailer and ended up with 225/75/16 HT's. They did say China on the sidewall but!
I just pulled it 2000 miles with out any tire trouble at all. That is a first in about eight years with my trailer and 15 " tires. Hope the next trip is as good as the last one. - Dean
