Tire Experience

I have a 2010 Montana Mountaineer with Goodyear ST23580R-16 10-ply tires. I replaced all 4 tires in 2012 after 1 threw the cap, then blew the tire 1 mile later and did $3800 damage to the trailer. I then lined the axles and installed a Tire Tracker Monitor system. The monitors saved me on our trip home from Texas last month with 2 valve stems leaking and one tire that lost all of it's air by the time I could slow after the alarm sounded after a cable broke in the cap of the tire and is protruding 1 inch out of the tire with a big bubble on the inside of the tire. So the Goodyears are comming off.

A local independent tire store wants to sell me Linglong 14 ply ST23585R-16 tires. 4010 lb weight, 110 lb pressure and I believe they are 75 mph rated. My trailer is only 13,850 GVW so probably only run 90 lbs pressure. My rims are good for 3750 lbs and 110 lbs.

Has anybody had any experience running Linglong tires? Dealer says he can sell me other tires but that this is his best tire. Says he's sold over 300 of these tires in the past 2 years and not one has come back. I want to believe him but appreciate any feecdback.

Thanks,
