Bill, you say you really looked after the tires well! One thing you didn't mention was "what speed you are driving at". With those big hauler trucks that "go fast", it should be pretty easy to exceed the stated max speed limit on the 17.5 inch trailer tires. It seems like the max on that tire is around 65 mph??

I have no knowledge of what exceeding max speed would actually do, but probably is not good, over the long term.

Just picking at you a little! I am sure you never go over 60 mph! lol lol
