Cheap (Import) Tires Are Not The Problem!

“Cheap” or import trailer tires are not the problem you think they are. Tires are cheap because they have a small ply rating, not necessarily because they are imported from another country. In this video, The TrailerSmith is separating fact from fiction and explaining the real reasons why trailer tires fail. In this video, we’ll discuss: • Most common reasons why trailer tires fail • The difference between tire quality and tire application • Why country of origin isn’t the determining factor for tire quality • How incorrect expectations can lead to unnecessary failures, leading to blowouts and damage If you've ever heard someone say, "All imported trailer tires are junk," this video may change your perspective. Whether you own a utility trailer, enclosed trailer, equipment trailer, dump trailer, boat trailer, horse trailer, or RV, understanding how trailer tires are designed will help you make better buying decisions and avoid costly failures.
