I just picked up a 10K Big Tex dump trailer (long overdue purchase) and it came with Chinese tires -- Goodride ST225/75R15, Class D. They are 8-ply radials. I have no idea how good/bad they are, but I was planning to spend the extra dough to upgrade to a good trustworthy tire.
The only brand in that size that I recognize are Goodyear Endurance tires, same size but load range E (which should be OK I assume). All the other brands seem to be no-names or off-names, and I assume they are Chinese. Does anyone have recommendations for a good US-made trailer tire, or even an offshore brand that is reputable?
