The new Montana High Country 381th came with Tredit Rainier ST 235/80R16F tires. The tire specifications are as follows:

Size Max Load Inflation Speed Rating
ST235/80R16 3,860 lbs 95 psi M/81mph (F)

I have read to be aware of the so-called “China Bombs” but haven’t seen much for bad reviews on these tires. By the time the 5th wheel made it to our home it has slightly over 1,000 miles on the tires with no signs of a problem. The tires come with a 6 year warranty with 100% replacement in the first year. In all of the forums I have read on trailer tires there are some that have very strong opinions on good and bad tires. Has anyone had a problem with this particular tire that would warrant replacement well before 5 years of service? Date code on the tires is 2118. My trailer is 41 feet 6 inches long with triple axles and a max load range of 17,000 pounds. Pin weight on the trailer dry is around 3,100 pounds so the load on the tires is well within the tire specifications. I do have the TST 507 FT C pressure/temperature monitor on the tires so I do monitor pressure and temperature of the tires. I’m inclined to stay with the tires and keeping my eyes on them.

Thanks,

Jon
