I have a Jay Flight 2006 26BHS TT that I need to replace rusty wheels and 7 year old Goodyear Marathon ST225/75R15 tires. I currently only use the TT once a year for deer camp as I have a 5th wheel that DW and I use to travel around in now. However my DD has indicated that she might be interested in using it sometime as it sits most of the year.
I have been on the internet and into a local tire shop and find prices for 4 tires and wheels to be anywhere from $500-$980. I know Goodyear Endurance (tire shop) are probably the highest rated and I have Westlake's (etrailer.com) on my 5th. I have also seen Carlisle (tire shop), Loadstar (on-line), Maxxis (on-line) and many others. Don't want to pay $1000 when 1/4-1/2 that could have bought a quality tire (no china bombs).
I also need my bearings repacked so am looking at probably $360-$375 (to have my local RV shop do) on top of the price for the tires. I am capable to change the tires and repack the bearings myself, but I probably wouldn't have all the necessary stuff to do and am at an age that I could do something else with my time.
If you were me with the usage I currently have, what tire manufacturer would you tend to go with/purchase?
Thanks for you thoughts.
