Tires

Has anyone tried Free Country Tires? I have a 34' Jayflight that needs new shoes. I live in this trailer and rarely take it on the road but the tires are now 5 years old and starting to crack. In the event I need to run from a hurricane I want to make sure it is road ready. The tires I refer to seem to be the best price alternative in a 10 ply but I know nothing about them. As I said, I rarely get on the road so I don't want to invest in a ton of money just to sit there and rot. Any other recommendations are appreciated.

I've never heard of them until now, but after checking, they are made in China. Some not-so-good reviews.

After previous trailers with Goodyear Marathons I will never again buy a chinese tire for anything I own. Two blowouts. The last blowout took out not only the plastic fender but also a lot of damage above the tire on a 2014 Jayco Eagle. I don't know if they even sell these bombs any longer. Now, Goodyear Endurance I've had great luck with on my current Jayco Eagle and 3 other utility trailers.
And good luck on my last trailer, a 2012 Jayco Skylark.

I've definitely learned my lesson.
