I need to replace the tires on the dump trailer, was going to convert to 8lug hubs with 16in wheels etc. but after doing some measuring and figuring decided to stay with 8-14.5 tires, found a good deal on some new Kenda Load Stars.
I've used their more standard trailer tires in the past and seemed to hold up well, but as anyone that has the low pro 14.5 tires knows, they are a different breed, so wondering if anyone has experience with them?

The model number is K391M, and before anyone comments on it, they are dot trailer tires and not MH tires, G load range 14ply 3070 lbs load capacity.
The other option I was looking at was HOMASTER (greenball) but I like the price and tread design of the Kenda better.

Well I finally got around to ordering some tires for the dump trailer, ended up going with Gladiators, should be here next week. Price was good and they seem to have good reviews, can't wait to change out the Maypops that are on it now.

I like the tread pattern too.

Look good, most of my trailer tires age out, rather then wear out, or start to separate and throw the treads.
That open tread may dissipate the heat and hold up good.

I have no idea how old the tires on the trailer are but are bad enough that I can't believe they've held up to the loads they have, lot of cracking. My experience with the 14.5 tires is they will hold a lot more weight then they are rated for and look a lot worse then regular tires and still hold up.

Hopefully these new tires hold up as well
