If you are concerned about the country of origin of tires, check for the specific tire you propose to purchase.  Many manufacturers, including Carlisle, build some of their tires here in the US while others are from China or other countries.  We bought a set of load range D tires for our Pod and it turned out they were from China.  The tires performed very well up through the time we sold our Pod.]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2020 09:00:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131917#131917 190 Tires : Think twice before getting load... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131910#131910 Author: offgrid

Think twice before getting load range E’s. They have very stiff sidewalls and can cause unnecessary vibration in the trailer. The Cs the rpods come with are a bit marginal for the axle loads. Ds provide a good load capacity safety factor without being as stiff as the Es. It’s kinda like Goldilocks and the 3 bears.]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2020 04:42:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131910#131910 190 Tires : Good Year Endurance, 225/75R15... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131908#131908 Author: marshel

Good Year Endurance, 225/75R15 E will fit. a little snug to the fender, but I've put over 2K miles on them with no rub or issues.]]> Wed, 03 Jun 2020 02:43:06 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131908#131908 190 Tires : I personally got rid of the stock... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131898#131898 Author: 1016

I personally got rid of the stock tires on my 190. My Discount Tire guy said wasn’t a matter if they blow but when. Heard to many stories about them blowing out. I bought the Hartland trailer tire ,which was formally Carlisle. Highly recommended by Discount Tire. Went with load range E. ]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2020 19:03:48 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131898#131898 190 Tires : December 18 should be fine for... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131896#131896 Author: offgrid

December 18 should be fine for awhile, 5 year replacement interval is generally recommended. If you want to upgrade get ST (special trailer) tires. I recommend load range D. 190's have a pretty heavy axle load. E's are the highest but have really stiff sidewalls so can be overkill. 

Speed rating should be J (62 m/h), L (75 m/h) or m (81 m/h) depending on how you drive. Unless you're a speed demon towing the m's are overkill too. Forget all terrain, that just increases rolling resistance and tire wear. They're not drive wheels. I'm personally fine with Chinese tires as long as they are properly rated. That's what I run and I haven't had any problems.

Hi again, looking for thoughts on r-pod tires. Have you had issues. I have 15 “ made in China. New unit with tires manufactured in Dec. 2018. And recommendations in replacements? High speed .. all terrain... brand??

Thank you!]]> Tue, 02 Jun 2020 17:33:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13613&PID=131893#131893
