Very good to hear. I have Goodyear G rated truck tires on my 5th wheel and have put trips up and down the west coat with them. The previous owner put them on. I know it came with China Bombs on it. The tire date is about 8 months after the trailer manufacturer date. There was minor damage around the wheel well when I got it so he probably blew a tire.
The Goodyear tires are great and have lasted much better than my 12K truck trailer tires. It seems that I loose 1 or 2 each time I take that trailer on a long trip. I have picked up nails like a magnet on that trailer and if I don’t catch it in a mile the tire is gone. I also seem to get quit a bit of odd tired wear which forces me to replace tires. I have been using Power King trailer tires which are out of Taiwan. And yes the tires are inflated correctly and 3K below max weight. I check them multiple times a day. Funny thing is I have never lost a truck tire even when fully loaded at 14K.
