(Thus I ended up doing a lot of scrubbing and applying Corroseal.) They installed the wiring wrong (as previously documented in another thread) that caused a significant brake engagement delay issue, the alignment must have been bad right from the start thus the tire wear on that inside edge of the tire, and the components themselves had rusted significantly which tells me the finish on the components was poor. I must admit to being (belately) disappointed with the quality of the MORryde installation.
But if I need 4,080 lbs of carrying capacity per wheel, what the S637 will carry at 110 psi.it's time to get a different trailer.)īL: The only way to know is to try them, so it will be interesting to experience the difference. (In other words I would not inflate to 110 psi without verifying the wheel and valves can withstand that value. Inflating to no more than 80 psi ensures the wheel and valves are appropriate, too, as I understand the wheel & tire system is limited by the weakest component. Inflated to 80 psi an S637 has a load carrying capacity of ~3420 lbs. And steve&renee is right, they are G rated tires.
those H 14 ply tires are going to be rough on your trailer. My limited interaction with MORryde (over their heavy duty shackle kit) really has me wondering about their understanding of the details.īTW. The tire wear in your pictures is definitely not acceptable, considering what you paid for their suspension system.īefore you invest in new tires for an unproven MORryde alignment process, why not get the alignment done, rotate the current tires and measure tire wear over a few thousand miles before buying new tires? Your trailer should have left the MORryde facility perfectly aligned. They should be buying you a new set of tires after (if?) they get this right. You really do have to get after MORryde for them to get their expensive, fully adjustable suspension alignment up to basic OE beam axle capability. but, before I encountered all the angst over RV trailer tires, it never would have crossed my mind to replace either the Westlake or the Maxxis trailer tires based on the tread wear they exhibit. I am seriously considering replacing this second set of tires based on age. The single tire picture is a current Maxxis, but all four look the same. Again, there is no discernible difference between inside to outside tread wear on any tire. I did not measure tread depth when new, but they are now uniformly at 7/32" to 6/32", so, wearing very much like the original Westlakes. I went to Maxxis ST tires (Goodyear Endurance were not on the market yet) and I have run these for 3 years and 14,000 miles. The "four tire" picture is the removed Westlakes. I do rotate my trailer tires in an X pattern every year so this might have evened things out a little. In those 2 years, they went from 9/32" tread to 7/32" tread uniformly across all tires. Removing them earlier than I really thought necessary because of all the drama over Westlake tires. I ran the original Westlakes for 2 years and 11,000 miles. I am fortunate to have four tires that are tracking straight on the original axles and suspension. I think the "message" here is that suspension and alignment are far more important to tire wear than brand of tire. I realize that this is not exactly answering your question, but I will offer some Westlake and Maxxis comparisons. Seems like the alignment issue has caused the tire wear or the Endurance don't wear very well. I have 12,000 miles on my factory 16" Westlake tires and still plenty of tread left. I also track towing mileage or more to the point the truck tracks towing mileage whenever the trailer is hooked up. That mileage seems to be low for that much wear to me as well. I have shims on order (just in case) from MORryde that I'll take with me to the alignment shop in Ocala (a good day's drive from my home in NW Florida). On a side note (as pointed out by Dan in another thread) I have an alignment issue on the rear, curb side. Has anyone else gone through a set of Goodyears and know the mileage? They were installed 16 Dec 18 and are now close to the wear markers.ġ6K miles seems like a really low number for the wear I'm seeing.
I track towing mileage meticulously-even pulling the trailer around the block is entered in a spreadsheet, so I know exactly how many miles are on the ST235/80R16 Goodyear Endurances on my 315RLTS.
