Trailer King 235/80R16 F rated on 40 foot toy hauler. One tire looked like a donut after first trip (5000 miles) on new camper. Camper World did get it replaced. Other tires looked good. On second trip two tires blew out. TPMS used and proper tire pressure. By date on tires they would be 2 to 3 years old.
Same thing happened to me with less than 1,000 miles . Tread came off like a recap, tore up both sides of the camper. Stay away from these tires !

Less than 2000 miles on 5th wheel and then a blowout on interstate. If your buying RV try and negotiate a better tire before signing on dotted line. My experience is going to cost several thousands of dollars to repair damage.
I bought 4 for my car trailer and after less than 100 miles I started getting a huger vibration. One of the tires started coming apart. The reason i bought new tires was to avoid this from happening on the interstate. Then, they do not stand behind their product. After dozens of emails and months of delays, I gave up. DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES
I don’t see the comment I posted yesterday, so I assume it was not allowed, or removed. Perhaps because I mentioned the companies who built my RV, and obviously put the Trailer King ST-235/80/R16 tires on it in the first place. Still, due to all the negative comments I’ve read about them, I intend to request they replace them before I take possession of the RV…. I know, good luck with that, right ! Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen. I will however,l be overly cautious while traveling with the RV. —- Because I have many years of experience hauling heavy machinery, I have to wonder why they don’t use the same type tires used on lo-boy trailers. Heavier sidewalls, and just plain better construction. But, to be honest, even those blow out sometimes. Especially those from China and Japan. —- In the end, I think it mostly comes down to proper air pressure, and frequently checking for over heated tires / rims. A very slight brake drag can over heat a tire quickly. Low air pressure is probably the biggest cause of blow outs for truck trailer tires. Likely the same with RVs I would guess.
Have been reading all these negative reports about Trailer King tires. Just bought a new Sanibel 5th wheel, equipped with Trailer King ST235/80/R16 E . Has not even left the dealer’s lot yet. Y’all have me scared already, lol…. Think I’m going to ask Forest River, or Prime Time, if they intend to pay for damage when a tire blows, or would they rather put decent tires on the RV. My guess is, they will just laugh and hang up….
Junk tires. Have worn out on the edges, within one year on my 20′ boat trailer. Estimated 2,000 miles on them and need new ones. Never again. Not even for a spare.
Purchased new 2020 Outback Ultra Lite by Keystone. Trying to keep up with reviews for everything RV related. The tires that came with were new Trailer King RST ST205/75R14. Max PSI for this is 65. We’ve been hauling 2 straight months and are over 5200 miles so far and no issues as yet. I’m not affiliated by any means. Just always looking for advice and also providing personal experience. The tires dipped down to around 50 psi, but do to going from warm to pretty chili temps.
I bought 4 new 225 15” 10 ply for my toyhauler. Filled to recommended pressure. Double checked with two different gauges. One blew out on the way home with less than 200 miles in the tire. Side wall failure.
“They say the cheap man spends his money twice“. I should have went with a better tire.
Trailer king ll tires on my 5th wheel . Made in 4/ 17. had them only 2 years. July 9 2020 headed to Maine blew a tire right side the top of the tire separated like a to pay. July 19th headed home had 2 blowouts same side . Again the top separOnly seperated like a to pay. The tire company stated that the belts were seperated an pulled away. These tires are useless, junk,That’s why they are CHEAP. Buy USA Goodyear endurance. Thanks for insurance. Over 6 thousand dollars of damage. Traveling under 65
You mention Goodyear endurance and I too have them on my tandem boat trailer but needed a new tire due to caliper failure and my tire size is no where to be found. When I ask why at the dealer since they were “American” made he laughed. He says they are made in France or someplace overseas and that’s the reason no one has them.
Great looking tire, I’ve had mine for 5 years now, though the only problem was for sum reason the side wall turned brown like dry mud so I just keep them clean and put tire shine on, air PSI kept at 80 psi, alway covered when parked.
Just did brakes on my toy hauler and while adjusting and spinning the wheels I discovered 3 of 4 has separated belts so Jaime to get 4 more, but after reading all these complaints I will be looking for another brand.
I thought they were a good tire until today because never had any issues other than the tires were just 5 years old and I know to change my tires every 5 years for Saftey sake so I’m Lucky to found this now during my Maintenance and up keep
DO NOT BUY TRAILERKING TIRES
These TIRES are junk and the company will not stand behind their products. I replaced all 4 tires on my travel trailer with these and with less than 500 miles two of them blew out causing 2,000 dollars in damage and left me my wife and 5 year old son stranded on the side of the road for 5 hours on a Sunday waiting for road service to replace 3 tires . 2 blew out and a third was separating and would not have made it home. Now I find out the company doesn’t warranty their trailer tires. I spent $200 a tire and they are junk. Learn from my mistake and stay far away from this company and their products. If someone recommends them punch them in the face because they are not your friend.
I had two of them seperate and bulge in the center ofthe tread. They are the Trail King II 225 75R15 Load E. Did not last a year. They are the front on my tandem boat trailer that has 8500 lb boat.
They were at 80 psi and traveling down to the Florida Keys when the first one began to rub on my fender. Luckily I caught it at gas station when doing the hub bearing heat check. Changed it and got Gladiator Qs25 to replace it. The second Trail King II had seperation occur while sitting without boat on it 8 months later. Noticed it had rubber peeling at the tread line.
Looking to Find another tire that will hold up. Disappointed in the Trail King II
My 2016 Passport camper has these on it and all the sidewalls are cracked all over. Very low millage. These tires are junk and a road hazard. Do not buy them.
Less than 5000 miles on 225/75R15 load range E. when one blew out. Damaged my 5th wheel fender & spring equalizer. Looking to replace all 4 now with a better tire.
I’ve had them on my outback super lite fifth wheel since it was brand nw in 2015, I’ve been up and down the east coast with no issues so far. But I’m a stickler for trailer weight and tire pressure, most of my travels are fall and spring. But I had perfect weather for a long inland trip to Florida from northern NH, trip home was torrential down pouring from the North Carolina board back to NH. Not one issue.
I have a 2014 travel trailer with trailer king tires . These tires were on the trailer when I brought it in 2017. I have less than 3000 miles on them and one tire is wearing the outer edge and cupping in the middle. I’m not at all fond of these tires.
It sounds like maybe more a balancing or wheel alignment problem than specific tire problem
I would not recommend these tires. I had less than 3000 miles and three years old. I had one blow, destroyed the tire and tore up the side of my fifth wheel camper. I would not purchase this brand of tire, and I believe that they were inferior. I replaced all four the same day I had the blowout.
I don’t understand the positive reviews on this tire. We had a blow out with less than 500 miles on the tire. Stay away from this tire, it is a dangerous risk for you and those traveling with you.
Stay away I have a set on my 43ft trailer and have lost two with less then 1000miles
My travel trailer is 32ft and weights over 9000 lbs. Will these tires 225/75R15 10ply E last 6 years when only used from April to October months. Mostly June to September the hottest months.
Almost all tires are only rated for a 4 to 5 year life expectancy.
Two blowouts on my fifth wheel in less than 2000 miles Would not recommend this tire to anybody. 225 75 15 E rated tires. Of course a damaged both sides of my fifth wheel
We have experienced the same thing. 3 out of 4 tires blown on my Forest River Blue Ridge. Damage to our unit as well. ST235/80R16.
I bought 4 ST235/80R16 E in June, 2017 and two of them blew out when I had 9,218 miles on them. I kept the proper tire pressure and they were rated for the load on my trailer. Only good thing about them is they are cheap – you get what you pay for. I will not make that mistake again. No more Trailer King Tires for me.
very thin in the upper sidewalls at the edge of the tread punctured one today somehow 225 75 15 e on my old Fleetwood very light two axle fifthwheel camper trailer 25′ 5000lb trailer un repairable
