All the '18 and '19 HC's we looked at before buying ours had LRF tires. Never saw the first one with LRE. We looked at many!

Thanks for a great board! Love all the comments and suggestions!

Make sure to keep the pressure checked! Do you have a TPMS? Be safe.

Every trip I check air pressures (110 psi for mine, rims are rated for it) & lug nut torque. You take care of tires they will take care of you, regardless where they are made.

Agree with checking air pressure, but strongly disagree with your statement referring to take care of your tires and they will take care of you, regardless of where they are made. Way to many reports of Chinese tires blowing out with low age and miles from people who claim that they carefully monitor their tires. In my own personal experience I had two Chinese tires on my boat trailer with less than 4 years of age and less than 2500 miles blow out on one 150 mile round trip. First one blew about 50 miles on the way to the lake and second one blew about 50 miles on the way home. Tires were checked before we left home and before we left the lake. Coincidentally this was the first time my wife had ever towed anything by herself!

Well, Sailun has the best rep of any and all trailer tires and made in China.... blanket statements are rarely 100% correc t.

Right, there is an exception to every rule. In fact I run Sailuns on my trailer. I think that anybody who has been active on this fourm for any time at all is aware of Sailuns excellent reputation. Bill M's post leads you to believe that any tire is fine as long as you take care of it. That's simply not true! I did not make a blanket statement, I didn't say all Chinese tires, I just said lots of well maintained Chinese tires have failed.

We have had 5 Montana it’s has been great with no blow outs since we replaced with the Sailuns. It is a great value! The Goodyear 614 is a very good tire but the cost is 3 times the cost.
