Why in God's name are you running retreads? This is a prime example of running with a flat on a retread. You can even see where they vulcanized The retread to the rear tire.

On this trailer, they were on a 1.5 year old trailer, Came from factory with tires, BRAND NEW... I just used that picture as a example of separation. Tire was warranted by Goodyear. To clarify, picture was taken after I was able to get to safe area off Interstate to take picture for customer, then change tire. Was about a mile after it blew apart.

Ended up with the Hankook tires. Had them .mounted and balanced and are now in the trailer. They look good and will hopefully perform well. Manufacturing date was 42ed week of 2023.

for me it is important to have a spare or two and a way to change it and plug it if needed. also I like the commercial low profile tires like BOAR sells. I haven't tried them yet but if I start long distance trailering I will look into them.

AND, be certain that the tires are covered and protected from UV rays. I use and recommend these:

I have also been using this trailer TPMS for the past year, and it's worth EVERY penny.
Be certain to get new high-pressure valve stems with a brass core put in your wheels with the new tires. And then invest in the trailer TPMS. It is waterproof.
