Doesn't suprise me... I lived in San Antonio for about 9 years and I noticed they had no problems with things like this... Yep, we've thought of moving back more then once...

I already planned on just taking all the tires off and getting them balanced

I got some recently at Hibdons tire center herein OKC. I got a load rnge E trailer tire (can't recall the brand) and they were 98 bucks mounted.

I blew out 4 trailer tires in less than 6 months. The absolute best thing you can do, in my opinion, is to switch to a 16 inch rim, and get load range d or e tires for a light truck. I didn't want to spend the money on the rims. I bought 4 L/T 235/75/15 Uniroyal Liberators from wally world. About 80 bucks per tire. They were more than happy to mount them, and gave me a 50k mile warranty. I use my trailer for work, and probably pull it 10-12 thousand miles per year. I have had ZERO problems with these tires, and they have a nationwide replacement program, any wal mart, any where. The tire experts may argue, but when I looked up the D.O.T. qualifications for trailer tires, I learned alot. Like if it holds air and the manufacturer sais it's good, it's a trailer tire. They have such low standards that they cannot be mounted on a passenger vehicle. As a matter of fact, the Uniroyal's show zero wear still to this day. And they easily have 14k on them now. The one remaining trailer tire, (the spare) which was only one the ground for 600 miles, looks like it's on it's last leg. Your actual mileage may vary, no warranty expressed or implied.

For what it's worth, my trailer is a 2007 Timberlodge Sky 30. On the scales it is a little over 10k with the tanks and fridge empty. I yank it with an 02 7.3 excursion 4x4. If you see me at the campground, my favorite beer is Free, followed closely by cold.

Oh, and the trailer seems to track a lot better with these tires too, less wobble.

My cousin had Carlisle's on a Weekend Warrior and I think he had a blowout on every trip. They were never very old. They warantied them, but he finally gave up and went to another brand. Don't remember what.

My brother had a Wanderer with Carlisle's that were only a year old. We left on a trip and got about 10 miles from home and one blew. After about 30 minutes of fighting blocks and jack in soft dirt, it finally dawned on me to just dig out from under the wheel. We got it fixed and made it to our destination, but on the way home another blew. Good thing I was there with my spare, a Goodyear. We made it home without any more blowouts.

As I mentioned I have Goodyear's, load G. I have a heavy trailer with only two axles, and I haven't had any issues. The sidewalls hardly flex. It was night and day when we put one my brother's trailer.

It has been my experience with a trailer that if one tire blows, then the rest aren't far behind. If your hauling much of a load, I would go with at least the E. You can't be too careful. There is nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the road, when you're on a trip.

Sorry for the long story.
