Replaced tires with same tires, Goodyear Wrangler lt235/85r16 HT on my 4 star 3 horse gooseneck. Made a 700 mile trip. Checked my tires and had a few indentions , no concern.Then I noticed bulges on every tire and some have several, CONCERN. Has anyone had this problem with this tire or any other? Also, what could cause this? Tks. The tires I replaced were 4 years old and never had a problem.

I took them back to place of purchase and the dealer said this was not good. They are ordering another set to replace these. I have a smaller metal trailer and have not seen this or on the tires I replaced on my 4 star. Just wanted to make sure down the road this will not create a problem or should I look for another brand or try to upgrade.I failed to mention my trailer is a 11 ft living quarters. I do not know if the weight will make a difference.

I had the same tires, same problem, after the second blow out, I went to load range "G" My trailer loaded is in the 15,500 pound range as well. Have not had any trouble since. Trailer is a little more bouncey with no horses on.

I am tire shopping too!! Went the inexpensive route and bought the Chinese 14ply a year ago, and let me tell you, I'm a tire changin mo-fo!!! LOL The savior was the electric impact wrench my husband bought at a garage sale for me!! When my girlfriend went w/me a couple weeks ago, and we did a 1100mi r/t, we changed 2 on the way there, and 2 on the way home. She sd, it was the easiest changing she's ever done, didn't even break a sweat!! LOL
My trailer is about 12,100lbs empty, so I was considering the Goodyear G614, which is their 14ply, but some people also suggested the Michilen XPS, but that is a E/10ply isn't it?
