Michelin XPS Ribs. I have a heavy 5th wheel camper and other trailers. They are the only tire I have not had problems with. That is just my opinion.

Running Firestone on the 20' open rollback. Been there for 15 yrs, w/o issues. They are getting 'tired" and are about done for. Going to try a set of Maxxis next time.
The trlr is always under cover w/ tire covers on it. So far, no signs of sidewall cracking, etc. The covers are from the auto paint store. At least they keep the dogs from pissing on the wheels.

NO ONE!
ALL trailer tires are made in Asia, including goodyear, and the failure rate is absurd,
biggest issue is high speeds, and under inflated, causing heat and tire failure,
I have a few brand new tires with NO tread, as the tread came off while driving along at 60 mph,
currently maxxis are on the trailer , with no issues for now,
but am real tired of poor quality crap tires.

Goodyear makes a tire I have had great luck with I think its called unisteel. It says regroovable on the sidewall. Its a very heavy load range G (110 psi) tire and is made in the USA. It is twice the price of the Asian tires.
I have also had good luck with Gladiator tires in load range E (80 psi) on lighter trailers. I believe they are Asian but have held up well for me (several sets) and are very price competitive.

Well this is the General Turbo Buick Tech section so I figured you were doing something different.

Unisteel not steer. I think that's what I have. I'll look tomorrow.
Marathons used to be made oversees but maybe they are made here? Idk.
