    This is my second set of these tires. The first started to crack in the sidewall and shortly after started to come apart. We will see how long these last. I cover them and put the trailer up on blocks when not in use.

    This is my second set of these tires for my boat trailer. My firs started to crack after about 2 years. This time, I am putting the trailer up on blocks, no tire dressing and they will be covered. Other than the cracking, 5 stars. BYW, I got mine from Ashley. She is the best. Ask for her.
