Im not sure what made me decide to look into this issue tonight. Maybe it was the idea of traveling further with my 5th than I have on most trips.

Anywho...in searching is seems the choices are few and the options are not vast when it comes to tires for our trailers. Unlike a car or truck we can easily go up a notch or two and put in a little insurance. My delimea is this...i have the OE Loadstar Karriers (by Kanga?) on my Cardinal. Up till now my trips have been short (under 4hours). I have had no issues personally but in reading what others have said on multiple websites seems that many have had issues with many manufactures. I know, i know when asked you will always find someone with an option and a problem. It seems as you can have the highest possible rating for a trailer tire (ST) and they just don't seem to be holding up. I've read where some have opted for a LT truck tire. I know that there will be a day when i have a blow out or separation but i feel anything i can do to prevent that is well worth it. Seems that most that have had that happen have also had some side skirt damage as well. In what i could find i believe that the highest speed rating is 65mph.

What are most of us running and any bad or good experiences. Also, with what i'm running should i chock it up and make a change?

Never had a bad experience yet, but I do keep a close eye on the tires. One thing to remember is a trailer tire will never wear out, it will deteriorate and blow out before you ever wear out the tread. UV from sunlight is the biggest issue with tires. On a camper, I wont run anything but a true trailer tire designed for that puropose. I do have a 18ft trailer I use to haul car's and other stuff on and I do tend to keep used passenger car tires on it since they are cheap and easy to get, but a typical passenger car tire doesn't have the load rating of a truck tire or better yet a true trailer tire. I've had them overloaded before and it's a scary deal even at slow speeds just accross town. I would never push my luck on a camper at highway speeds. Buy a true trailer tire and watch the load ratings to be sure you're safe. I can't remember the recommended time on tires, but I think it's something like 5 years they shouold be replaced regardless of how they look. A couple of weeks ago on our way to Seveirville we watched a 5th wheel camper blow a tire just a few cars ahead of us at 70mph. It did some serious damage to the side of that camper and almost caused a wreck from the surrounding vehicles trying to avoid the tire that came completely off the rim. Didn't look like that old of a camper either. Scary stuff for sure.

Well....ive opted for some BFG Commercial 10ply. In speaking with my tire guy that deals a lot with Commercial Trucks i feel that this is the best option. Can drive at highway speeds without worry.
