It's been a little while since you posted this. But the salesman where I just bought my 2019 KZ Connect 261RB told me about goodyear making trailer tires. I will definitely be putting them on mine.

I Have a 2018 DG 380FLF, with 10k+ miles. The coach came with Provider tires. They are doing well. Wear a lot better than I expected.
IMHO, If you're coach is new, then I would keep using the tires before upgrading.
Keep after them, pressures, etc.
On my other 5th's, even the heavy ones, I had switched out to GY, but really didn't see any difference.
If they don't perform, then replace.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to keep the original tires for this season. I check the pressure before every trip, inspect the tread and take the tires temperatures at every gas break (making sure no tire is more than 25° hotter than the pavement). After~2000 miles they seem to be performing fine.

rrobb Good plan on checking your tires before every trip before traveling, I check tires an axle temp while traveling every time we stop, as well tires pressure each morning if we are moving... It's all about safety for you, your family an others around you while traveling, thank you for caring ... Safe travels Chuck |

Chuck,
Thanks for the axle temp tip. What temp is considered normal? Thanks

Rule of thumb is if you can't touch it with you bare hand it's way to hot an you have a problem ... Most time your axle hub will feel warm but not hot, some people have a heat gun they shoot their axles with, over the years driving truck over the road I have just got use to touching axles hubs an can sense most time when there is a problem ... The other thing is that when hubs get really hot/over heated you can smell them ... On one of the other threads on this form there was a pretty good discussion on such but I don't remember which thread it was ... Safe Travels Chuck |
