So my twin axle 7000 lb. open trailer is 8 years old and the date code on these tires will be 9 years soon. I know I must replace these tires. I completed inspected each tire every time I used the trailer. Maybe around 6-7k miles total. The tires look like they are maybe three years old. I think these were bias ply. They are Hi Run LQ 229 205/75 D 15. I just found these online for $69 each. For all I know Hi Run are crap tires now. Should I just go to COSTCO or Les Schwab? Does anybody have brand recommendations? Radial or bias ply?
Thank you  Attached thumbnail(s)

For the Record, I installed NATIONAL Road Max ST.
These were D rated. We just finishied a trip through a blizzard and driving (sometimes, by accident) up tp 90 MPH. The tires handled flawlessly, and the trailer was a comfort to tow. They were the recommended tire by Big O (a national chain) |
