A while back there was a discussion on here about trailer tires. I can't remember what brand everyone was bashing but that everyone seemed to love their goodyears. So I went and checked at the time and was relieved to see my tires were in fact goodyears. Well tonight my goodyears cost me a new fender, lights, and wiring cuz it dissintegrated without warning 3 miles from my house. They are from 2005 but showed no signs of trouble with plenty of tread and no weatherchecking. I know this because before we left for league tonight we checked air pressure and the oil in the hubs and generally looked everything over. At least I still tied for first even tho we were a half hour late.

Eric,
Here is the link on the trailer tires, 4 years on yours is not really too bad, might depend how many hours or miles are on them.
I replaced my set this afternoon with the Goodyears. I bought my blown set of Carlisles last Sept. That is not many miles at all, but I was stuck way up in northern MN and had no choice in buying them then.
Congrats on the 1st !!!!
Jack

A little while back 20/20 did a article on tires. Even though you bought them "new" in 2005, they could be way way older than that. They were able to buy tires on 20/20 that were sold as new, that were actually 6-9 years old, and rubber does get old. They showed the "code" stamped on each tire and how to read it.

I guess I'm just not accustomed to this problem. My father is running the same trailer tires from 1997. Which I can understand because it only is used a handful of times a year. My brother has the same tires that came on his trailer since 2001. That boat saw a lot of miles before I got mine in 05 and still gets above average usage.
