Chinese Tires?

Never buy off brand tires.
Probably could have got hancook for the same price.
Bought 4 Kelly's once..lasted one month,puncture in each one,and wore out incredibly fast.

 

Is seems to depend. Some of our guys use them with good results for the money. Heavy haul 140,000 lbs drives last a year, they put new ones on just before winter. Trailers 12 - 18 months.
But it only takes one bad experience to get a bad taste.
Last week one fellow had a new set of RoadLux tires on his trailer for about a month. A tire blew up and did $7,000 of damage, plus punched a hole in the hopper and spilled out a few tons of oats onto the road.

 

It may sound good now, until you lose one. I don't trust Chinese anything. Than there is the weight of the tire, some of these Chinese tires are extremely heavy when compared to a name brand or second tier American tire. That extra weight costs you fuel mileage, up to 1 mpg or a tad more in some cases. I would look at an American made tire, a Firestone, General, something like that. Shop around, there are deals out there.

 

What kind of hauling? Off-road and in the muck? Chinese tires are the way to go. Some guys run them all the way around and they make some deep tread steer tires

 

I went with Cooper roadmaster drives and now I am hearing they are Chinese too!!???

I chose them because I had heard or read that they were made in the US????

They are holding up great though (my friend has them too and almost 100k on them and they look amazing).

 

If you were going to throw them on a trailer that spent most of its time off road, I'd run them. A lot of them seem to be oval but you'd never notice it off the pavement.

 

What does it say on the side?

I had Aeolus on two trucks, both lasted about 220k doing regional mixed weight dry van loads.

 

Put them on a balance machine and make sure they are round!!
Some are not
