Just bought a new Durango 256 rkt . It has provider 16in tires . I know thes are made overseas but are they good tires ? What research I’ve done they seam to be ok . I won’t be changing them right away but I’m retiring in about a year and the wife and I are planning on traveling a lot then and I just wanna see what you folks think if I need to put that on my list of must haves between now and then . Thanks for the input .

Thanks for the input . Yes, Provider are decent tires, overall. You'll see a =lot= of utility trailers with them on. Our 30' PJ gooseneck came with Provider G rated tires. Only issue we have is our shop compressor struggles to get to 110 psi. :-) Lyle |

I have had generally poor results with foreign made tires, as their quality seems erratic, and they seem to have little margin of error in that if you run in hot temps and heavily loaded they don't do so well.
I had one fail on my car hauler, and the difference was 65 MPH VS 70 MPH (moderate load, 90+ temps, after the failure we slowed down, completed our trip W/O any additional failures).
My advice is weigh your rig loaded, if your close to their rated sidewall capacity then replace them. Also, if you tend to run in a high heat area (think typical Southwest 90's) and over 65 MPH replace them.
With all that being said, I did travel about 800 miles with my original Provider tires w/O issue...but that was during cooler winter temps.

Mine had LT's before I took possession. I have not heard any bad reports on the newer G rated ST tires, I may try them when the LT's need replaced.

I know of only 2 failures reported on RV.net. I'm sure there are others, but not that's reported there, which is likely the largest RV forum. Lyle |

Sailun G tires S37 - TWO YEARS - no issues except for valve stem. over 5000 miles. The side walls are really thick. They weight twice as much as the tire I took off the camper. I also run a tire monitor system. I do everything I can do to keep from a blow out. I have had 3 on other campers. I will spend $$ up front instead of $$$$ after.

I also have the Provider tire on my trailer. So far we have put about 7500 miles on tires in last 8 months. They show no signs of wear and appear to be capable of many more miles. My dealer told me, that, they were a better brand of Chinese tire, take it for what it's worth.
When the time comes, I believe I will go to the Sailun brand. also Chinese but they appear to have strong backing in the community.
